    		 St. Innocent Winery was founded in 1988 by Mark Vlossak who continues to be our winemaker and President. We produce small lots of handmade, vineyard-designated wine from some of the best sites in the Willamette Valley. Since our founding, we have grown from 600 cases that first year to our current production of 8-10,000 cases, yet each wine is still handcrafted in the very same manner. Year after year, St. Innocent Winery has received recognition from throughout the country and around the world for its outstanding Pinot noir, beautifully crafted white wines, and fair pricing.

    By marrying tradition with innovation, combining old world attention to detail with cutting edge inspiration, Mark creates wines that reflect their terroir, the specific qualities of the vintage, and his vision of wine's place in life: to complement and extend the pleasure of food.

    We produce vineyard designated Pinot noir from six unique sites, as well as a blended Pinot called the “Villages Cuvee”. Our Pinot gris and Pinot blanc emulate the Alsatian style. They are produced from low cropped, ripe fruit, and are fermented dry to emphasize textural complexity. Our Chardonnay originates from a mineral dominated terroir planted with Dijon clones. By fermenting and lees aging in used barrels, we achieve a balance between textural complexity and minerality.

    		2008 Pinot noir, Freedom Hill Vineyard
  • Appellation: Willamette Valley
  • Winemaker: Mark Vlossak
  • The 2008 has red and black cherry aromas with dark floral, ground spices, pepper and a strong undercurrent of minerality. Dark red fruits on the palate and its signature clay-like earthiness, it finishes with a backbone of ripe tannins and balanced acidity. Perfect for that Porterhouse or T-bone as well as roasts and big pasta dishes. It is best if opened and decanted at least an hour before drinking. Given the ideal ripening conditions in 2008 and the inherent structure of this site, it will be... ...read more

    		2008 Pinot noir, Momtazi Vineyard
  • Appellation: McMinnville
  • Winemaker: Mark Vlossak
  • This is a complex wine that reflects the heat of the afternoon sun, the cool, windy evenings, and the rustic soils of the McMinnville hills while retaining the dark beauty of its intense, ripe fruit. It is aromatically complex with layers of blue and black fruit, Indian spices, coffee hints, and pepper. In the mouth these complex aromas are reflected along with a "sauvage" sense of wildness. Texturally layered, its flavors vary in intensity and quality over your tongue and palate. Ample ripe tan... ...read more

    		2009 Pinot gris, Vitae Springs Vineyard
  • Appellation: Willamette Valley
  • Winemaker: Mark Vlossak
  • Tasting Notes The 2009 Pinot gris, Vitae Springs Vineyard has concentrated spice notes and a sense of chili pepper-like heat along with Asian pear, kiwi, orange peel and sweet citrus blossom aromas. Apple, pear, white flowers and pie spice flavors evolve into minerality. Backed by fresh acidity, its fruit is balanced with spice and minerals. Completely dry, it is both textural and persistent in the mouth. Bottled in late June with a bit of CO2, its fruit will continue to evolve for many months. ... ...read more
