The 2016 REX HILL Jacob-Hart Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir opens with flavors of blackberry and cassis, with classic Jacob-Hart floral notes of violets and rose petals, turning to pomegranate and plum, with sassafras, sandalwood, fresh earth, toast, marjoram and nougat on the nose. The palate is abundant with spiciness and heady floral notes with ripe, smooth tannins along with firm acidity and compelling flavors of cocoa, honeycomb, cherry essence, ruby port, and boysenberry. Elegant yet structured, this wine is well deserving of its place at the top of REX HILL’s single vineyard offerings. Drink now through 2030.
