StumbleRex Hill ‘98 Pinot Noir
Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2000 | 9:32 a.m.
American soil isn't ideal for growing this volatile grape, except, perhaps, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Rex Hill is one of the oldest and best producers in that region. This wine is a beautiful deep red ruby color, and has a juicy, spicy character not typical of Pinot Noir. It's slightly tannic, but the acids are well balanced and the flavors -- Oregon blackberries, violets and a touch of oak -- are lovely on the palate. Renowned wine maven Steve Tanzer gave this wine 90 out of 100, an outstanding score.
Available exclusively at Lee's Discount Liquors, $22.
