Introduction
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!
Flight 1 (7 Notes)
Closing
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.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Medium gold. On the nose shells, lemon and chalk. The palate shows candied fruit, shells, chalk and orange peel. Medium finish and great acidity.

Medium purple. No decant but previewed. Billiant nose with strawberry, perfume, forest floor and rapsberry. On the palate forest floor, chalk, raspberry, cherry and stawberry. Medium finish and medium tannins. Still a lot of life in this bottle of wine.

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.

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.
