St. Innocent, Willamette Valley, Seven Springs Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2006 (3L) Rhone Rouge HOT DIGGITY …96s across theThe second to last vintage made from both blocks of vines on the Seven Springs Vineyard (the owners re designated the older block as Anden), this wine is wild. Dominated by briar fruits and baking spices with hints of cherry and white pepper on the nose.
