From the Willamette Valley’s best known vineyard, the 2007 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard has an expressive nose that was singing on the day I encountered it. Smoke, cola, cassis, and cherry aromas are followed by a smooth-textured, layered, sweetly-fruited, mouth-filling, medium-bodied wine with enough depth and structure to evolve for 2-3 years. It will provide pleasure through 2019.
Mark Vlossak, ensconced in his new winery, seems to be taking St. Innocent to new heights even in the challenging 2007 vintage. Do not overlook the excellent values, particularly the white wines, that are produced here and which were recommended in the Value Report.
