Spills over with ripe blackberry, plum, spice and earth flavors that last impressively on the finish. Needs time to integrate. One of the top Willamette Valley bottlings. Finishes with very suave tannins and an explosion of berry flavors. Very impressive for a basic bottling.
Fine tannins are present but remain in the background.
This is the primo bottling from a single vineyard that is the oldest in the Rex Hill portfolio. This wine sees substantial new oak but wears it with grace and balance. A gorgeous and hedonistic wine that will age well for 5 to 7 years in spite of it's friendly and precocious personality. St. Innocent, Temperance Hill - Best Temperance Hill yet. Ripe, round and smooth with a clean and pleasant finish.
