Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2011 Pinot noir Temperance Hill has dark cherry and berry fruit and floral aromas with hints of smoky spices. dark red fruit on the entry. The spicy notes are balanced with bright acidity and rich, broad mid-palate tannins. Darker red fruits and dark flowers take over into the finish. Temperance Hill has a sense of "purity" and precision that is the hallmark of this cool site in the Eola-Amity Hills. This purity makes it a great match with simple culinary preparations and grilled foods.

St. Innocent Winery, Oregon
St. Innocent Winery Winery Image
St. Innocent Winery was founded in May 1988 by Mark Vlossak, the current winemaker and president, and eight investors. Ten tons of grapes were crushed the first fall, producing 396 cases of still and 176 cases of sparkling wine. Production increased to our full capacity of 6800 cases in 2004. The winery is located in Salem, Oregon, at the southeast corner of the Eola Hills, in the mid-Willamette valley.

St. Innocent produces small lot, handmade wines: seven single vineyard Pinot noirs and a blended Pinot noir called the Villages Cuvée, two Chardonnay from Dijon clone plantings, two Pinot gris, and a Pinot blanc.

The philosophy behind the winemaking at St Innocent is that the function of wine is to complement and extend the pleasure of a meal. The characteristics of a wine should enhance different food and flavor combinations - this interaction amplifies the pleasure of a meal. To this end, St. Innocent wines tend toward higher acid levels, and more diverse and balanced flavors.
