A red fruit orgy on the nose . The nose plays right thru to the palate and is joined by spice, earth and cola. Great balance with an acidic saber.

An exceptional example of Willamette Valley (McMinnville AVA) Pinot noir. The aromas just boom out of the glass - violet, raspberry, wild strawberry, red currant, black cherry and a hint of oak spice - cloves and smoke - and dried orange peel and forest floor on the close. Crisp acidity and an elegant, silky texture that is bewitching. A great value for this level of quality and, at six years of age, still youthful and incredibly food friendly.

Another 2014 St. Innocent Pinot Noir with serious intensity. Big tannins, broad mouthfeel and tons of juicy black fruit character. Secondary licorice, tobacco and black tea notes that linger for well over a minute. This won’t reach its peak form for several more years, but the potential is huge.

Located in Salem, OR; Founded May 1988 by Mark Vlossak & 8 investors, producing only 396 cases in 1st year, gradually increasing capacity to 6800 cases in 2004. Big aromas of ripe berry fruit with layers of complex spices. Blackberry & Raspberry flavors with exotic spice and herbal tea notes, great mouthfeel. Round full tannins, good acidity balance, lingering intense ending. Very Nice!
