- 2002 Marc Colin et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Medium gold. On the nose shells, lemon and chalk. The palate shows candied fruit, shells, chalk and orange peel. Medium finish and great acidity. (92 pts.) - 2003 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Anden - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Medium purple. No decant but previewed. Brilliant nose with strawberry, perfume, forest floor and raspberry. On the palate forest floor, chalk, raspberry, cherry and strawberry. Medium finish and medium tannins. Still a lot of life in this bottle of wine. (93 pts.) - 2003 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Dark purple. Nose of perfume, violets, charcoal, and spice. On the palate this wine amazes with spice, blackberries, cranberries, mineral, and cedar. Medium finish and concentrated wine. Still some life left and should age 5 plus years. (94 pts.) - 2006 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Color medium purple. Nose of raspberry, cherry, smoke and coffee. The palate shows dark fruits, cherry, oak, vanilla spice and earth. Medium finish and concentrated wine. Should show well for 5 plus years. (93 pts.) - 2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir White Rose Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Medium purple. Nose of funk, floral, cranberry, and clay. On the palate this rocks with spice, cherry, white pepper, and roses. Good acidity and concentrated wine. Really balanced and for an 07 maybe the wine of the Vintage for Willamette. (95 pts.) - 2007 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Cuvée - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Medium purple. Nose of raspberry, floral, cherry and spices. Light concentration on the palate but nice with spice, floral, cherry and forest floor. Medium finish and a bit of oak and vanilla emerge. Solid overall and it might improve a few points. (92 pts.) - 2002 Henri Jouan Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Nose of cranberry, strawberry and raspberry. Beautiful on the palate with spices, raspberries, minerals and funk. Medium finish and just showing really well. Drink now or hold for 5 years. (93 pts.)
