Torii Mor 2007 La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir
|
90 pts - "A discreet touch of wood frames nicely complex and layered dark berry fruit aromas that complement well the rich, delicious and mouth filling medium-bodied flavors where the complexity of the nose can also be found, all wrapped in a persistent and vibrant finish. I like the balance as well as the understated style and while the wood has not completely integrated yet, it should not be an issue as there is sufficient material." -Burghound Torii Mor 2006 Olson Estate Vineyard "Old Vine Reserve" Pinot Noir
92 pts - "Just 44 cases of this fragrant and elegant reserve were made from the estate vineyard’s oldest vines; at 35 years of age they have the grace and sensuous elegance that only time can bring. Give the wine a few moments to open and up come sweet minty notes, chocolaty oak and rather delicate flavors of raspberry and pomegranate, struck against metal, mineral and earth." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2006 Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Noir
90 pts - "Firm in texture, but very refined, with smoky blackberry and anise seed aromas and flavors that remain focused right through the fine-grained finish. Drink now through 2014. 350 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
Torii Mor 2006 Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir
90 pts - "Aggressively herbal, dark and slatey, this arresting Pinot Noir is distinctive and powerful; it won’t appeal to everyone, but those who like it will appreciate its uniqueness. There is an impression of clay and a hardness to the fruit, but it’s compact enough to suggest a reasonably long life ahead." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2006 La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir
91 pts - "Polished, complex and distinctive for a meaty iron note that adds depth to the cherry and fresh orange peel flavors at the center, persisting smoothly against a light veil of tannins on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2016. 291 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator 90 pts - "This single vineyard in the Dundee Hills recalls Oregon Pinots from days gone by. It’s not too big, not too oaky, plenty ripe and delivers spicy berry fruit along with earthier streaks of leaf, herb, baking spices and a whiff of cinnamon. Stiff acids and earthy tannins betray its youth, but though still a little rough around the edges, this could be cellared for a decade or more." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2006 Olson Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir
92 pts - "The flavors are sappy and spicy and full, and the wine has a pleasing depth and richness. The fruits run through red and purple berries and lead into hints of chocolate and leaf. The winemaking is polished and confident, and yet Jacques Tardy has left just enough roughness in the flavors to give the wine personality and character. May be cellared for up to a decade." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast 91 pts - "Ripe and generous, with a real glow to the juicy plum and blackberry flavors, riding easily over a layer of polished tannins and lingering on the open-textured finish. Drink now through 2016. 274 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |

Torii Mor 2006 "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir

Torii Mor 2006 Oregon Pinot Noir

|
Torii Mor 2005 Olson Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir
90 pts- "Soft and gentle, with a distinct plum note at the center, incorporating some cardamom and white pepper as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2012. 109 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
|
Torii Mor 2005 La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir 90 pts - "The juice is sharp and spicy, with some baking spice and cinnamon livening up the back of the palate. The fruit flavors suggest boysenberry and blackberry, set up against stiff acids and earthy tannins. Young and still a little rough around the edges, this distinctive bottling should be cellared for a few years and could go as long as a decade or more." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2005 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 90 pts - "Lithe and polished, with a whiff of gaminess to add an intriguing edge to the soft, ripe cherry and guava flavors, persisting well through the finish. Best from 2008 through 2013. 200 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
Torii Mor 2005 Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Noir 90 pts - "Crisp and nicely focused to show its bright red currant and blackberry flavors, shaded with hints of mint and cream around the edges. Remains focused and pure through the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2013. 265 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
Torii Mor 2005 "La Cuillere" Member's Reserve Pinot Noir 90 pts - "A blend of seven different vineyards, the name is French for spoon. This is a softer, less tannic wine than most of the other Torii Mor 2005s, but is not quite what you would call silky. Mixed red fruits, light scents suggesting flower as well as berry, and a feminine elegance characterize this Pinot. It’s been carefully crafted to emphasize the subtle herbs and spices, without hiding behind the more obvious flavors of new oak." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2005 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Editor's Choice- 89 pts - "The black label Torii Mor Pinot is often as good, if not better, than the single-vineyard bottlings. Although the price keeps creeping higher, it’s fair and this 2005 is an excellent rendition. It offers fruit flavors that are ripe but not sweet or jammy, nice details of herb and root, and suggestions of moist earth and black tea. If you believe in modest (13.5% here) levels of alcohol in your Pinots, this one should ring your bell." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast |
Torii Mor 2004 Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Noir 91 pts - "Lithe, supple and seamless. Immensely appealing for its raspberry, strawberry and red cherry flavors, finishing with beautifully integrated tannins. The fruit persists impressively. Drink now through 2014. 225 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
Torii Mor 2004 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 92 pts - "Marvelous depth and concentration of cherry, spice and tangy, slightly earthy overtones characterize this Pinot, but the chewy tannins might put some fans off. Give it a few years to settle into itself. Best ater 2009. 171 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
Torii Mor 2004 "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir 91 pts - "Lithe and spicy, with distinct pink peppercorn and cinnimon notes weaving through the dense cherry and fresh orange peel flavors as they glide smoothly through the finish. Has depth and elegance. Best from 2008 through 2016. 612 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator |
|
Torii Mor 2002 Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 90 pts - "Firm in texture around a supple core of red cherry, raspberry and cocoa butter flavors, which linger on the impeccably balanced finish. Best from 2006 through 2012." -H.S. Wine Spectator |

94 pts - "Only two barrels were selected for the 2006 Pinot Noir Olson Estate Vineyard “Old Vine Reserve”. It is more expressive aromatically than the “regular” cuvee while admirably combining elegance and power. Velvety smooth, beautifully balanced, and exceptionally lengthy, this is my top pick in the Torii Mor portfolio. Give it four years to evolve and drink it from 2012 to 2020." -Wine Advocate 
92 pts - "The 2006 Pinot Noir Hawk’s View Vineyard is dark ruby-colored with a reticent nose in which spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry notes eventually emerge. This is one of the more structured of the 2006 offerings with excellent depth and grip. Allow for another 2-3 years in the bottle and drink it from 2011 to 2020." - Wine Advocate 
91 pts - "Lithe, almost feathery in texture, with a fine bead of raspberry, white chocolate and white pepper flavors that linger on the silky finish. Drink now through 2014. 250 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator
92 pts - "The 2006 Pinot Noir La Colina Vineyard is medium ruby-colored with an alluring perfume of cherry and raspberry with a hint of eucalyptus in the background. Sweet, smooth, and layered, it is an atypically elegant expression of Pinot Noir from this vintage. Drink it over the next 6-8 years." - Wine Advocate 
92 pts - "Dark ruby-colored, it has plum and black cherry aromas leading to a more structured wine than its siblings. On the palate it is layered, plump, and round with good intensity and gobs of savory, spicy black fruits. It will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2012 to 2020." -Wine Advocate 
90 pts - "This blend mixes the estate fruit with several different vineyards, making a more fruit-forward, accessible wine than the single-vineyard offerings. Flavors show bright raspberry and tart cranberry, leading to some tangy acids, backed with earth, rock and hints of caramel. The new oak is gently applied, adding to the finish without taking away the wine’s naturally juicy fruit." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast 
90 pts - "This tastes like fruit from a cooler, perhaps higher altitude site. It’s got a bracing minerality that runs through the fruit and gives the wine a solid backbone. Rhubarb and cranberry fruit is tightly laced against that rocky core, with plenty of natural acid propping up the finish. Little oak flavor is evident right now, though 38% of the barrels were new. This wine should be decanted, but as it opens it really shines." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast 
92 pts - "The 2006 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills Select is sourced from multiple vineyards and exhibits an enticing bouquet of rose petal, red cherry, and tobacco leading to a ripe, sweetly fruited elegant, and intense wine with superb depth and a lengthy, pure finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2011 to 2018." -Wine Advocate 
91 pts - "The 2006 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Select is dark ruby in color with red and black cherry, black raspberry, damp earth and spice box aromatics. Silky-textured, round, and dense, the wine has excellent depth and grip, followed by a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next five to six years." -Wine Advocate 
90 pts - "The 2006 Pinot Noir Oregon is sourced entirely from the Willamette Valley except for one vineyard in the Umpqua Valley. Medium/dark ruby-colored, it offers up notes of spice box, cedar, cherry, and raspberry. This leads to a smooth textured, round, sweetly fruited wine with some elegance and savory flavors. This entry-level Pinot is a guaranteed crowd pleaser." -Wine Advocate 
91 pts - "It’s a pleasure to taste Oregon Pinot from vines this old; they have a certain grace and sensuous elegance that the young vines can’t muster. Beautiful aromas are complex with mixed fruits, hints of mushroom and dried leaves. It’s a silky, nicely defined wine that should age along Burgundian lines." -P.G. Wine Enthusiast
