A garnet jewel in the glass, the 2022 REX HILL Dundee Hills Pinot Noir invites with a nose that is warm and intriguing – abundant fruit like raspberry reduction, cranberry and pomegranate waft alongside cedar, forest floor, rose petals, and peppercorn. The fruits follow on the palate with added weighty flavors like plum, ripe blackberry, and baked fruit like cherry pie. The palate is soft, offering creamy vanilla, spice, toffee, and caramel, with a finish of loamy earth. Moderate tannins and acid allow the flavors to meld together beautifully for a wine that is rich, round, and complex.
