St. Innocent Pinot Noir 'Temperance Hill' 2007


From the Willamette Valley, only about ten miles outside of Salem, Oregon, St. I's Temperance Hill site is at a relatively high elevation (723 feet), leading to unusually late harvest and truly impressive concentration. A complex, age-worthy wine, presently showing a bit of flint and tar, as found in some "traditional" South African Pinotage, only less so. Thankfully. [**] $39.
