St. innocent, Shea Vyd., Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2006

Light red.

Deeper black fruit aromas, even a suggestion of licorice. Maple and oak toast nuances.

Round, deep and sweet in the mouth, with black raspberry confection balanced nicely by strong acidity and light tannin that, again, coat the front teeth. Hard not to like this. This too will be better with several years in the cellar.
