Absolutely stunning. Fruit is from a single biodynamic vineyard in McMinnville (Momtazi). 100% whole cluster fermentation and all neutral oak. Amazing structure with fine tannins and green peppercorn spiciness. Gorgeous red fruit and loam aromas. — 7 years ago

Deep sweet earth of WV held within. Berries and bright tart to levitate. Give it time to open up. Could have laid down much longer. Good now too. Maresh & Momtazi vineyards — 13 years ago

This is a marvelous bottling from the 2014 St. Innocent single vineyard Pinot Noir lineup, perhaps my favorite of the range so far. This one has really captured an impressively wide spectrum of nuances. Densely concentrated red and black fruits, sweet spices and very pronounced earth. The sheer intensity is on par with the Freedom Hill and Momtazi, but a bit more defined and linear mid palate and brighter and slightly more focused aromatically. These wines tend to show significant tannins early on and this is certainly no exception. This is a powerhouse and a decidedly fruit-forward expression of Pinot Noir, but for all its extroversion it is endowed with fantastic nuance. Striking fruit purity and palate-coating texture, one of the most Burgundy-inspired wines of the lineup. Very expressive and highly perfumed with brooding, seductive charm. This will age beautifully and should be truly stunning after it sheds some of those youthful, brawny layers. — 7 years ago

Maresh, Momtazi & Ribbon Ridge vineyard blend. Tons of power & spice. 2008 still showing massive structure to balance the powerful fruit. — 10 years ago

My favorite of a spectacular profile tasting this evening of St. Innocent wines. Shea, Zenith, Momtazi and Vitae Springs all great and distinctly different in 2011, 2010. Showed a melange of red and black berries with elegant but persistent spice, great aromatics and racy acids. — 12 years ago

This wine holds a special place in my heart. Made by the 3 Momtazi sisters. I myself am 1 of 3 sisters! #Biodynamic Oregon Pinot, 100% estate fruit, featured in wine critic Eric Asimov’s NYT column several vintages in a row. Bright tart cherry core, silky smooth tannins, and sweet earth. Solid and soulful. — 8 years ago
