  Dark ruby color. Deep, intense fruit but nice support from the acidity. Dark but bright fruit & some forest flavors. No sign of decline. Nice with gumbo. 91-92

  We came to this bottle with high expectations as 2012 St Innocent's have been drinking really well for a while. This particular bottle was fine, but seemed to be tight and holding a bit back. Properly stored since purchase shortly after release.

  Medium dark red color. PNP, Drank a couple glasses over 2 hours for Thanksgiving with family. Oh my, this is so earthy, deep forest floor, red berries, strawberry, really red fruited, wood spice, spcie cake, cranberry, very long. Beautiful and worth the wait. 93+ to 94pts.

  Ruby color. Nose of red raspberry and black cherry fruit, violets, earthy stone. Big swath of dark berry fruit on the palate, quite ripe and concentrated but a bit monolithic at this stage. Moderate acidity and firm tannin. Medium length finish of luscious red and black fruit with earthy tones and a bit of heat. Very good at present with more in store with additional years in the cellar.

  Wonderful PN from the 2012 Williamette valley vintage. Fruit nose of dark berry is still present even on 3rd night open. Only a little bit of lighter ruby on the rim . The cork had only a 1/16 inch run. Beautifully structured with berry, dark cherry fruit supported by excellent acidity and a slight note of earth on the finish. Just as vibrant on night three as on night one indicating it is in a good stage for consumption but will still be good in another five years. Love this wine.
