Winemaker and winery owner Mark Vlossak dropped by on Thursday to taste us on the new release St Innocents…one word..WOW ! I first tasted this winery a couple of years ago when I unearthed a couple of bottles of 94 St Innocent Pinot while digging thru the old Graileys cellar. They were stunning examples of really well made Pinot . It was a pleasure to sit and taste with Mark, he is very passionate about his wines. This style of Pinot sets Oregon apart domestically, they have an underlying balance and resonance that is unique to the region. The 2007 Zenith for me was the pick of the bunch, at $39.99 you will be hard pressed to find a better made Pinot in the price point
