Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir

2011 St. Innocent ‘Zenith Vineyard’ Pinot Noir- The Zenith Vineyard is St. Innocent’s estate vineyard, located eleven miles northwest of Salem, Oregon. This 2011 Pinot Noir shows wonderful forest floor and wet stone character on the nose with blood orange rind, cran-cherry and cigar ash also coming in aromatically. The aromatic range is seriously good right now. The palate is silky smooth right now as the mouthfeel entices. The richness reminds me more of a 2012 bottling as there is a seamless quality to the wine that grips you. Red and dark fruits weave together, with also citrus and earthy tones quite primary. Downright delicious, this is a stunning bottling by eminent winemaker, Mark Vlossak. Drink 2018-2028- 93

Love 2011 Oregon Pinot Noir!! Delicatesse!!

This is what it's all about my friends

Nice acid, cherry, rose hips, dead wood, cantaloupe, tobacco, dirt

Real Eola Hills typicity.

Nice Pinot, maybe a tas too smokey on the barrel toast.

Pretty much lovin these vineyard desi's from St Innocent

Gorgeous! Pomegranate and tart cherry. A bit of spice. This 2011 is pouring exceptionally well.

Was disappointed with this unfortunately. Expected better. Cherry and grape on the nose. Also in the mouth. Not much of a finish.

Rich, earthy, with smoky cherry notes. Perfect with truffles!
