The 2008 REX HILL Jacob Hart Pinot Noir begins with dark juicy fruit aromas. Marionberries, black cherries, black currants, blueberries and an array of Indian spices on the nose build with time to reveal hints of graphite, minerals, sandalwood and truffles.  On the palate, the wine is concentrated, rich and dramatic with smooth tannins and a fresh acidity that can only come from the Willamette Valley.  The diverse soil types within our crown jewel vineyard yield flavors of wet stone, cocoa powder, pepper and black fruit.  Large scaled and full, the wine moves from the mid-palate into a finish that promises so much to come with age.  The 2008 REX HILL Jacob Hart Pinot Noir contains all the elements that make the 2008 vintage, and this wine, extraordinary – depth, power, fruit and age ability cloaked in a mineral drenched expression of Oregon Pinot Noir. Perfectly balanced, it is built to age, with the potential to keep in the cellar for over a decade and beyond.  A classic in the making, the 2008 REX HILL Jacob Hart Pinot Noir promises to be a key piece in any collector's cellar.
