One of the top offlines I have attended. All wines previewed to make sure they show their best. The St. Innocent lineup rocked tonight and a huge thanks to Gary A. for bringing a starter and Morey Saint Denis to finish thsi rock star lineup!
The 07 White Rose is a rocking wine and I can't imagine not buying a case immediately on Monday. Mark V. is one of the top winemarkers in America! I was amazed at the low scores from Cellar Tracker on these wines from other members. You really need to study these wines throughout the night.

2003 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard 94 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton
Dark purple. Nose of perfume, violets, charcoal, and spice. On the palate this wine amazes with spice, blackberries, cranberries, mineral, and cedar. Medium finish and concentrated wine. Still some life left and should age 5 plus years.

2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir White Rose Vineyard 95 Points

Medium purple. Nose of funk, floral, cranberry, and clay. On the palate this rocks with spice, cherry, white pepper, and roses. Good acidity and concentrated wine. Really balanced and for an 07 maybe the wine of the Vintage for Willamette.

Medium purple. Nose of raspberry, floral, cherry and spices. Light concentration on the palate but nice with spice, floral, cherry and forest floor. Medium finish and a bit of oak and vanilla emerge. Solid overall and it might improve a few points.
