The 2006 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard has slightly darker fruit including black cherry and black raspberry. Sweet, complex, and savory, this nicely concentrated, well-balanced wine will provide pleasure over the next eight years.
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.
