I bought St. Innocent but have not tasted any. I buy from them every vintage. 2012 is a bigger styled vintage. Go for it Jim.

I think it is hard to go wrong on the 2012 St. Innocent PNs. You'll like the style of this vintage.
I have not tasted any 2012 Patty Green PNs and have not tasted any wines from Colene Clemens.

I like Patricia Green as well.

Anyone have a summary of recent Oregon Pinot vintages? Maybe from 2007-2012?
There's lots of buzz about the 2011s.

I don't have a lot of data points on the 2011, but my experience would not suggest a reason for "buzz," unless it's from the retailers who are trying to unload their 2011s in between the strong 2010 and 2012 vintages.
Re: Questions re some 2012 Oregon pinots
I was thrilled with 2011 at St I, stefan less so.
2007 initially lean but at a good peak now
2008 structured and potentially great
2009 ripe and early to mid drinkers
2010 low yield and well balanced
2011 may end up like 2007 down the road. leaner and high acid
2012 ripe and very good, mid term agers
2013 and 2014 not yet tasted but appears to be very high quality from skilled winemakers, others variable

Good description by Glenn, except I disagree on the 2011. To me they are thin and acidic. I do not think that they will ever amount to much. Blend them at the table with '09 or '10 from the same vineyard. '07 was not a very good vintage, but '07s were decidedly better than the '11s from the beginning.

Re: Questions re some 2012 Oregon pinots
I ordered 2 bottles each of:
2012 St. Innocent Justice
2012 St. Innocent Freedom Hill
2012 St. Innocent Momtazi
What are these, about 14.5%?

Re: Questions re some 2012 Oregon pinots
Sounds about right, Jim. I am not at home to check what the labels say.
Re: Questions re some 2012 Oregon pinots
Justice and FH need time. Momtazi a bit less.JimHow wrote:I ordered 2 bottles each of:
