Rex Hill 2004 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $49

Maresh (pronounced ‘marsh’) is one of the half dozen oldest Pinot vineyards in Oregon, with some blocks dating to 1970. This wine shows a very feminine side of the grape, floral and elegant, with a soft and lovely nose that floats raspberry, cream and light perfume scents up from the glass. It concentrates its flavors on the back palate, where things linger nicely… — P.G. (12/1/2006)

Rex Hill 2004 Maresh Vineyard Loie's Block Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Cellar Selection

Price $75

Loie’s Block is the oldest in the Maresh vineyard, and shows the elegance and grace of old vines. The wine is sculpted and feminine, but not bashful. Its sweet cherry core is wrapped in piney tannins—the herbs jut out, as often happens in young Oregon Pinot Noir. The angularity and definition suggest that a bit of time will turn this into a multi-dimensional… — P.G. (12/1/2006)

Rex Hill 1999 Reserve Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Cellar Selection

Price $48

This winery’s top Pinot is a wonder especially in this superb vintage. Lush flavors blend cherry fruit, toasty oak, hints of coconut, chocolate and cinnamon into a complete and delicious whole. Detailed and supple, it fills the mouth with complex and focused flavors. The long, trailing finish is reminiscent of grand cru Burgundy. Cellar Selection. —P.G. — P.G. (4/1/2002)

Rex Hill 2008 Jacob-Hart Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $65

This is the most complex and detailed of the current single-vineyard Pinots from Rex Hill. English Breakfast tea, cherry liqueur, moist loam, dried leaf and highlights of cinnamon apple pie all contribute to a feminine, elegant, well-crafted wine. — P.G. (12/1/2011)

Rex Hill 2004 Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $49

This is Eola Hills fruit, though the label simply says “Oregon.” It carries some of the region’s characteristic youthful aromas of tomato leaf mixed with moist earth. Plenty of acid provides good definition; right now it’s got all the right components but they remain angular and separate. The stiff and lean tannins indicate that this will benefit from some cellaring. — P.G. (12/1/2006)

Rex Hill 2004 Jacob-Hart Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $49

This vineyard delivers a very smooth, soft, nicely textured Pinot Noir. Very ripe fruit leads into flavors of strawberry preserves dotted with milk chocolate. This is a silky wine, which offers flavor details in the Oregon herb-and-leaf mode. It sails through a very smooth finish. — P.G. (12/1/2006)

Rex Hill 2006 Reserve Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $28

Exceptionally dense and heavy with pear-flavored fruit, this rich and ripe wine is a barrel and clone selection that is well worth the extra ten bucks over the regular Rex Hill Chardonnay. Fat streaks of butter and caramel, hints of honey and beeswax, and a succulent mouthfeel all add to the pleasure. — P.G. (12/15/2009)

Rex Hill 2003 Carabella Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Price $49

This outstanding vineyard consistently delivers a complex bouquet of cherry, earth and citrus rind, leading into sweet red fruits. The citrus peel scent follows through with edgy, lightly bitter flavors that etch the palate. It’s a beautifully crafted, slightly exotic, intensely tart and definitive Pinot, ageworthy and food-ready. — P.G. (5/1/2006)

2008 Rodney Strong Reserve

Here’s a fruity, soft, flamboyant Cabernet, packed with plum, blackberry…
