Same bottle as Chablis28 and rocknroller. I thought this was pretty special, and my WOTN. Intoxicating nose of raspberry, sous bois, baking spices and earth. Great depth and complexity on both the nose and palate. Wish I had more. 94+

Monthly wine group at BLVD Kitchen Minnetonka MN. "PNs from Anywhere" theme. My wine of the night! This was compelling and a head turner from the very start. Fully resolved but also full of life. Willamette fruit and richness but so harmonious and complete. Wonderful nose of forest floor and spice. I snuck a 2nd small top off pour. I may have to start checking auctions of aged St Innocents :). I've tasted more than a few in their youth and never found the motivation to cellar them. I believe this btl was picked up via auction. Thanks James & Carrie! 94+

Monthly Tasting Group: Pinots for Anywhere (BLVD Kitchen & Bar, Wayzata, MN): Small pour. I've never had the '05 Justice before and it did not disappoint as it was in very finie form still. Plenty of fruit, darker berries with deep cherry and nuances of pomegranate, Christmas spice notes and dried floral tones set this off nicely with a sleek textue and medium plus body. Loved it. 92+ to 93pts.
Stone fruit and enchanted forrest nose. Great acids and lift. Some fruit left but this is mature. Fun to have a properly aged Oregon pinot. This is in a great place and comes from a very cold cellar.

This is drinking really well now. Tasted blind a few people guessed 1er cru burgundy. Well integrated with a long finish. A third of the bottle was gassed and tasted again 24 hours later. On day 2 it was shell of itself.
