At night, cool ocean breezes act to retain acidity. The Chardonnay blocks have a southwest exposure at an elevation of 520\u2019 to 580&#8242;. The vines were planted in 2006 and 2007 with Dijon clones 76 and 548 on well-drained, very old sedimentary clay loam. The grapes were whole cluster pressed. After settling, the juice was barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine completed malolactic fermentation naturally and was aged sur lees for 11 months entirely in used French oak barrels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasting Notes: <\/strong>Complex, dense, yellow, floral and fruit aromas on the nose are accented by stony minerality across the mid-palate. Flavors of peach, dried apple, nutmeg flavors are rich and bright with a touch of orange marmalade. Texturally very broad across the palate, the viscosity lingers long into the finish.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>PRESS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>2017 &#8211; 91 Wine Enthusiast<\/p>\n<p>2019 &#8211; 92 James Suckling | 94 Wine Enthusiast<\/p>\n<h3><strong>PRODUCER BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"fusion-text\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e21cc98\" data-id=\"e21cc98\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fd33c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fd33c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n<p>St. Innocent Winery was established In 1988 by Mark Vlossak in Jefferson, Oregon.
