The 2006 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard is medium ruby in color with a fragrant perfume of spice box, mineral, cherry, and strawberry. Sweet, savory, and easy-going on the palate, it has good concentration and grip and a pure, fruit-filled close. Mark Vlossak, partner/winemaker of St. Innocent Winery, was in a pleasant mood when I saw him in late July of 2008 and why not? He has moved into a splendid new facility where he can take full advantage of his winemaking talents. Furthermore, his 2006 Pinot Noirs are very successful and his 2007s in barrel might be even better. Tel. (503) 378-1526; www.stinnocentwine.com
