Introduction
A nice Minneapolis Club event comparing a few 07s vs. 08s via the White Rose and Justice. I liked the 07 White Rose and the 08 Justice better. Wines were not decanted much to show the potential for long term aging.

2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Winemaker's Cuvée Freedom Hill & Vitae Springs Blend 90 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Good but not great. Raspberry, spices, floral and pepper. On the finish picks up a wood quality. Medium finish. Drink now as I don't see this evolving much.

2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir White Rose Vineyard 95 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
My current wine of the year and another great showing. Far superior to the 08 at this stage. Strawberry, floral, white pepper, wood and spice. Balanced and the tannins are not hard like the 08. Great bottle of wine.

2008 St. Innocent Pinot Noir White Rose Vineyard 93 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
A concentrated wine and needs some serious time in the cellar. Cherry, spice, leather, strawberry and minerals. Medium finish and tannic. Cellar five years and try again as it should evolve into a great wine.

2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard 90 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
Not in the class of the 07 white rose. Spice, floral, stawberry and scorched earth. Medium finish which picks up some mineral notes.

2008 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard 92 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
Should evoled into a really nice wine with 5 plus years in the cellar. Better than the 07 Justice. Spice, blackberries, vanilla, mushrooms and dark fruits. Really dark in color and could go to a 94 with time.

Strawberry, spice, raspberry and floral. Concentrated wine and shows more of a fruit forward style than a earth style. Nice wine.
