Started out closed, and smelling like a lumber yard. But with an hour or so of air, its Oregon roots start to show. Still shows significant but high quality toasty oak, together with sappy cherry fruit and earthy/sweet spices. In the mouth it’s balanced, with loamy, ripe fruit, crushed gravel, and a bit of black tea. Good concentration and length. The tannins are very soft. — 3 years ago

The 2018 ‘Autees’ Pinot Blanc is entirely sourced from the famed Momtazi Vineyard. On the nose this shows really good range from green melon tones to lime and shades of nectarine rind that all fill the glass. The palate is vibrant and intense, showing a bright tension that runs through the wine. Lime aid, green papaya and mango flavors all dance with copious minerals on the palate. This is truly one of the best of its kind in Oregon. Enjoy in the short-term while the vibrant minerality remains. Drink 2019-2024- 92 — 7 years ago

Really impressed.
St. Innocent’s consistency of style lets terroir shine through their single vineyard series. Like a controlled experiment. 2021 Temperance Hill shows incredible levels of complexity and spice, while maintaining a great degree of balance and approachability. Put simply, it tastes great.

I haven’t had a chance to taste 2021 Momtazi, but this wine has similar levels of depth to prior vintages if memory serves, while being more easily appealing. I’ve tired 2021 Shea, but not side-by-side with this. While the Shea is an excellent wine, for my taste this is more expressive and interesting. — 9 months ago

Most complex of four wines poured by Kelley Fox at dinner in Chicago. Rich, round, ripe with chocolate covered cherry notes with baking spices. This wine drank well but has a long glorious future in front of it. Served with rich chocolate pot of cream with sweet, black huckleberries... the wine drank best by itself. Have yet to find a dry red wine match with chocolate... — 6 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. — 8 years ago

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. — 8 years ago
