June 4, 2011 - 10 year old bottle and still packed a punch, good fruit, nice acid, with time the fruit turned darker like cherries and blackberries. Good smoke with hints of tobacco still coming out. It was a very pleasant wine, glad I saved it all these years to see how age helps.

January 27, 2008 - Exceptional bottle of wine... complex, earthy almost burgundian flavors. More fruit on the nose than in the mouth. Paired beautifully with rosemary and garlic chicken and potatoes. If other St. Innocent bottlings are this good.. they've found a new fan.

October 28, 2006 - A classic garnet color with pomegranate, cherry, and earth on the nose. Well balanced ripe but slightly restrained fruit. VERY enjoyabe. Could go another 2-3 years easy.

May 15, 2006 - Light spice-rack nose with some blackberry/briarpatch fruit side-by-side. "lifting" palate with good acids levels (but not unpleasant when drank solo). A somewhat "meaty" palate for Oregon Pinot... shifts to more red fruit with just a hint of tartness. Very good, enjoyable drink that seems to be just entering its drinking window.

December 17, 2005 - 13.6% alcohol...if you are going to drink one, please decant the night before for and hour or so, then taste the next night. This wine was as stubborn as a mule the first night, relinquishing nothing, short and abrubt nose, highly acidic palate, not out of joint, just sort of shrill and murky...the second night this wine sang the praises that SI deserves. Delicious, well-balanced, Pinot drinkers Pinot. Really tremendous wine. Must still have some time on it's side - much time. Last bottle. ****.
