About the Wine

The 2016 Rex Hill Jacob-Hart Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir opens with a complex nose of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry, cassis, plum), classic Jacob-Hart floral notes of violets and rose petals, pomegranate, sassafras, sandalwood, fresh earth, charred herbs (marjoram, bay leaf), toast, and nougat. On the palate, the tannins are plush and pillowy rather than big and blocky. The full, concentrated, rich mouthfeel has 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.

Pair with foie gras, roasted pheasant, pan-roasted quail and roasted lamb loin stuffed with wild mushroom duxelles and butternut squash puree.
