Deeper red and black fruited pinot. Very satisfying if a little high acid and unresolved bitterness on the finish, for now. I expect those elements to play out nicely with a few more years of bottle age.

The first 2015 St. Innocent I’ve tasted yet and it is outstanding as always. This young Pinot Noir from Eola-Amity is showing lots of dark berry and savory spice character while the tannins are typically present. Vanilla, licorice, black raspberry and sweet floral notes also emerging, and with more aeration there is an unmistakable umami impression of soy sauce, gravel and potting soil. A most cellar-worthy wine at a cool 13.5% ABV that is just beginning to reveal its complexity.

Vivid ruby-red. Vibrant mineral- and spice-accented aromas of fresh dark berries, cherry cola and candied rose develop a hint of incense with air. Shows excellent clarity and depth on the palate, where sappy black raspberry, cherry compote and floral pastille flavors are complemented by hints of spicecake and vanilla. Finishes impressively long and sweet, offering sneaky tannins and strong, spicy persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

The most complete and beautiful st innocent wine I have had to date. Texture, acid and all kinds of fresh fruit. A baby in its evolution but many long years ahead

Beautiful light Ruby color followed by an orange hue on the rim. Hints of spice and red fruits on the nose with no signs of new oak. Very lovely and enjoyable on the palate with over ripe dark strawberry.
