A perennial favorite, the REX HILL Reserve bottling with its deep color and darker fruit profile is perhaps our most anticipated release of the year. Layers of fruit greet the nose: blueberry, blackberry, Rainier cherry, sarsaparilla, a touch of sawdust and sweet tobacco. On the palate, cherry notes lead with fruit compote and again the sweet pipe tobacco note. The wine is replete with fleshy fruit and excellent acidity that carries a long, cherry skin finish. Drink now through 2028.
