St. Innocent
St. Innocent produces Pinot Noir and Riesling from Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region defined by cool-climate precision and aromatic intensity. The winery's Temperance Hill Vineyard Riesling captures the valley's mineral character and bright acidity, while its Pinot Noirs—including the Zenith Vineyard Special Selection and Winemaker's Cuveé—express the silky, structured elegance the region is known for. Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines at the highest levels, reflecting their balance and depth. The Willamette Valley's volcanic soils and maritime influence create conditions where both varieties achieve complexity without excess alcohol, a hallmark of the region's finest producers.
