Spicy oak and red fruits can be discerned in the nose of the ruby-colored 2000 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard. Its expressive personality consists of violets, black cherries, oak, and zesty, tangy currants. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. "Regardless of what some may say, 2000 is not a great vintage," announced Mark Vlossak, Saint Innocent's owner and winemaker. "It's good, but not in the same league as 1998 and 1999." Consumers should pay particular attention to Saint-Innocent's offerings. Not only are they some of the finest wines made in Oregon but they are among the most reasonably priced. Tel. (503) 378-1526
