Top-Rated 2019 Rex Hill Pinot Noir: Willamette Valley Vintage

Rex Hill 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Crafted for Connoisseurs & Curated by Critics

Elevate your wine collection with this acclaimed Oregon Pinot Noir (13.5% ABV), aged 18 months in French oak to develop its signature layered profile. Wine Spectator’s 93-point review calls it “supple and vibrant,” praising its seamless fusion of dark berry fruit (black cherry, cassis) with sophisticated spice notes (black tea, cedar). The medium-bodied structure balances bright acidity with refined tannins for immediate enjoyment or cellar-worthy aging (5+ years recommended).

Winemaker notes highlight Old World techniques meeting New World fruit intensity: whole-cluster fermentation imparts textural depth while floral undertones (lavender) contrast smoky undertones (grilled meat). Perfect at 62°F-64°F (16°C-18°C), this versatile pairing shines with roasted poultry or aged cheeses while maintaining its signature balance of dark fruit complexity and earthy minerality—distinct from bulkier New World styles.

James Suckling’s 90-point assessment underscores its approachability: “ripe strawberry” upfront transitions to “spicy finish” with “dried fruit nuances.” Wine Enthusiast’s 92-point rating emphasizes regional character: “dark plum aromas” anchored by “textural delight” from Willamette’s unique terroir—volcanic soils contributing to its structured yet elegant profile.

Ideal for collectors seeking Oregon’s premier Pinot expression or casual enthusiasts craving sophisticated everyday drinking. Limited availability—order now to experience this critically acclaimed vintage before it ages beyond its prime drinking window (2024-2028).
