The 2004 Pinot Noir “Anden Vineyard” has a green component that I found hard to get around. It is better on the palate and there is good depth but those who enjoy a hint of greenness in their Pinot Noir will enjoy this wine more than I did. Owner/winemaker Mark Vlossak operates his winery out of an industrial park in Salem. He sources from some of the finest sites in the Willamette Valley, turning out flavorful Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, selling them at remarkably fair prices. Check out St.-Innocent’s website for Vlossak’s harvest reports to get the lowdown on recent vintages and to see how a skilled winemaker adapts to the varied conditions presented by the region’s fickle weather.Tel.
