2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Zenith Vineyard
Community Tasting Note
The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:
Sunday, May 9, 2021 - Retail $45. Another wine that I worried that I might have held a bit too long given that 2007 was not an other-worldly vintage (some have said it was actually horrible while others claim it to be a “typical” Willamette vintage). It does come off as rather austere with some dark fruit eventually emanating from this *very* dark wine. What is perhaps more prevalent is the menthol and eucalyptus bookending the subtle fruit notes. The palate continues along the same theme with secondary flavors of leather, black earth, and sage push the fruit almost completely out of the picture. Still, I *love* “older” wines like this as much for what they have become as for where they have been and the memories that they evoke.
