Floral, mid-season cherries, zippy acidity. Some paraffin wax leads to deeper notes of fruit leather, musk and smoke. Very sexy wine with barely present tannins and a compelling sweetness on the finish. In many ways a “complete wine” - nothing really out of balance. This has surely benefited from a few years in bottle. Excellent value.

I have always loved St Innocent pinots. This is a great daily drinker version from them. For the ~$19 a fantastic value for my tastes.

Good, stable, entry level Pinot from an amazing winery.
This is like a Pinot 101. A good beginners look into what a classic Oregon Pinot tastes like at this price point. Pom and cherry nose, a waft of a twig and branch. Blackberry compote, hints of warm pie. Takes an hour of air to see more fruit, tangerine acids, low tannin.

Juicy, fresh, aromatic. Tannins are firm but polished. High-pitched fruit character of red currant and raspberry. Sassafras, fennel, licorice and cedar on the nose with damp forest overtones and sweet baking spice accents. Very classic WV with declassified fruit from Zenith, Shea, Momtazi, Temprance Hill and other venerated sites.

Tried this again, good value. St. Innocent Winery was founded in May 1988 by Mark Vlossak, with eight investors. Ten tons of grapes were crushed the first fall, producing about 575 cases of wine. Deep red with berry fruit aromas, spice and floral notes. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors, juicy with herb pepper notes. Fine tannins, nicely balanced with acidity on a lingering finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral. Nice Value.
