St. Innocent produces six single-vineyard pinot noir bottlings (and two blends) -- and I'm looking forward to trying all of them. Oregon's Willamette Valley is one of the best pinot noir growing regions in America, and wines like this one show why -- dreamy aromatics, high acids, playful red fruit with cola and black cherry notes followed by slight earth and spice on the finish. In a blind tasting I'd swear it was young burgundy. $21 (375ml bottle); 92 points
