Alloro Vineyard

2008 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The Rex Hill Alloro Vineyard Pinot Noir from the 2008 vintage is a stunning representation of Willamette Valley's terroir. This exquisite red showcases a medium-bodied profile with a beautiful balance of acidity, giving it a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring inviting notes of ripe cherries, red currants, and a hint of earthy undertones that reflect the region’s unique microclimate. The tannins are medium in structure, adding a gentle firmness that complements the wine's character without overpowering it. This Pinot Noir is dry and finishes with a lingering elegance, making it a delightful companion for a variety of dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
