My favorite of a spectacular profile tasting this evening of St. Innocent wines. Shea, Zenith, Momtazi and Vitae Springs all great and distinctly different in 2011, 2010. Showed a melange of red and black berries with elegant but persistent spice, great aromatics and racy acids.

Cali Pinot drinkers would hate this. Grippy tannins. Great backbone. Strawberry arugula salad. Very feminine.

Time did wonders for this wine. Tasted it at the vineyard several years ago when I bought this and it was tight and acidic. Really developed into a beauty- integrated tannins, lovely fruit, absolutely gorgeous.
