St. Innocent Winery
Salem, Oregon, USA
Temperance Hill Vineyard
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
$55.00 from a restaurant
Wine aged in 26% new
French oak barrels for 16 months.
Appearance: good looking dark cherry with reddish
highlights.
Aroma: this is fruity, sweet cherry, red raspberry
Flavors: this is a juicy fruit Pinot Noir, lots of fresh red
berries like red raspberry, a hint of strawberry and touch of red currant,
throw in a nice dose of sweet dark cherry and a touch of vanilla along with a
silky smooth mouthfeel.
Mouthfeel: the acidity is low, there is a mineral like
quality, silky smooth texture, a touch of oak on the finish and aftertaste,
mostly red berry like aftertaste, along the way I get a hint here and there of
a light spice box.
To the Point: While it has a very nice red berry taste it
just seems to lack depth, character, and complexity. Have this with lighter fare. Their web site says this vintage can be aged
for eight years.
