St. Innocent these days?

Has anyone been keeping track of St. Innocent? The Seven Springs pinot noirs in the late 90s and early 2000s were really something. I only recognize the Shea Vineyard in the current lineup and haven't had anything for 15 years or more. Am taking my only child to Portland for college soon and was considered a stop in at the tasting room off I-5.

No real knowledge here, basically the same as you. Was a regular SI buyer in late 90s and the early/mid 00s, think I've maybe tasted 2 bottles post 2010.

Same here. No current knowledge.

Well, I visited St. Innocent in their new, new facility. Very nice interior and exterior, nothing at all like the near-warehouse space from 20 years ago. Tasting was $30, waived with a $75 purchase. Tried the 5 wines on offer plus a glass of their mA(c)thode champagnoise. The latter was unfortunately characterless, no yeasty flavors nor much fruit or minerality. Decent mousse, though. I'd take a randomly selected Limoux crA(c)mant for for half the $40 asking price (though the normal retail may be closer to $30).

There was no pinot gris available, the estate chardonnay from their new vineyard was fine but didn't stand out.

The vineyard sources have changed a lot from 20 years ago, but there was still a Momtazi that had nice volcanic aspects. $60. The Shea single-vineyard pinot noir is still a standout. Even young it integrates the new oak seamlessly and has a ton of length and elegance. $80 is not completely crazy, and I did get a few bottles of that. Also picked up the smoky 2020 Shea for $20, there's a large mark on the bottle to prevent resale to unsuspecting folks. Will see how it shows, they recommend a decant.

Overall, fairly pricey, but not completely out of line. I guess just not as exciting as it once was. The tasting room had a good number of folks there on a Sunday afternoon, many enjoying food that looked tasty.

Thanks for report. Is Mark Vlossak still making the wine? Not terrible pricing but there's lots of good OR for a bit less (Vincent, Goodfellow, etc)

Apparently, yes. He's been active since the 80s.
