Probably my least favorite wine among the St. Innocent Single Vineyard Pinots, and probably my least favorite vintage in the 2000s from St. I....that said, this isn't bad. The fruit is pure and focused, and there's a hint of minerality and spice to it. The bad news is that the fruit is also very big and brawny, unctuous even (without being cloying), so there is very little elegance to this wine at this stage. More of a sledgehammer of a wine. Worked well with the rich Thanksgiving meal, but would have been out of place with more traditional food pairings for Pinot (Salmon, Duck, etc).
