WINE DESCRIPTION
From Oregon's esteemed Willamette Valley, the St. Innocent Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir is a shining example of the region's capability to produce world-class Pinot Noir. St. Innocent, with its dedication to terroir-driven wines, harnesses the unique characteristics of the Zenith Vineyard – its marine sedimentary soils, elevation, and cool climate – to craft a wine that speaks of its origin. With sustainable vineyard practices and minimalist intervention in the winery, St. Innocent ensures that the intrinsic qualities of the Pinot Noir grape and the Zenith Vineyard terroir are vividly expressed in every bottle.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Pouring a radiant ruby hue, the St. Innocent Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir captivates with a bouquet of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, complemented by undertones of forest floor and a hint of clove.On the palate, it presents a graceful dance of vibrant red fruit flavors and delicate tannins, framed by a refreshing acidity. Mid-palate nuances of wet earth and subtle spice add complexity. The finish is elegantly long, with lingering notes of cranberry and a touch of savory minerality, encapsulating the essence of Willamette Valley's terroir.

ORIGINS
Winery: St. Innocent
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
