The darkest-fruited of St. Innocent’s single-vineyard Pinots: blueberry and blackberry, wild strawberry and dark cherry, lifted by minty herbs, violet and a cool, stony undertone. A model of elegance on the palate — velvety in texture yet lifted in feel, silken wild berry fruit over firm, ripe tannins (91 points Wine Spectator). Balanced and precise, with an energy that bodes well for the cellar: drink now through 2034.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: 100% Pinot Noir from Momtazi Vineyard in the McMinnville AVA — one of Oregon’s landmark biodynamic (Demeter-certified) sites, its volcanic Jory soils at the foot of the Coast Range. Hand-picked, native-yeast fermented with a high proportion of whole cluster, aged in French oak with modest new wood so the vineyard speaks first. The 2021 vintage gave small crops of concentrated, vibrant Pinot in the Willamette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent with roasted salmon, duck breast, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, and cow’s milk cheeses from Comté to aged Gruyère.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: St. Innocent is Mark Vlossak’s Salem winery, one of Oregon’s quiet references — a single-vineyard specialist whose Momtazi bottling has drawn a loyal following for its depth and value among Willamette Pinots. Vlossak’s vineyard-by-vineyard winemaking mirrors Burgundy’s greatest growers, transposed to Oregon’s volcanic soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage 59","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50402224210177,"sku":"638171015013","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/5Cimages_5Cthumbs_5C009_5C0098650_2021-st-innocent-pinot-noir-momtazi-750ml_1024x1024_7e52ffdd-2142-46be-9cf3-959ab843953d.png?v=1790519910","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/st-innocent-momtazi-vineyard-pinot-noir-2021","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
