2006 Oregon Pinot Noir

Torii Mor 2005 "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir


Torii Mor 2005 "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir

93 pts - "Lithe and seductive, this gentle-textured wine shows layers of blueberry, cherry and blackberry fruit, wrapped smoothly into a tight package that lingers effortlessly on the delicate finish. Drink now through 2015. 710 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator



Torii Mor 2005 Olson Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir


Torii Mor 2005 Olson Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir91 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

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 Anden Vineyard Pinot Noir


Torii Mor 2005 Anden Vineyard Pinot Noir
91 pts
- "Lithe and supple, this open-textured red shows distinctively bright strawberry and raspberry notes, getting slightly fleshier as the finish persists with hints of mint and cream. Best from 2009 through 2015. 225 cases made." -H.S. Wine Spectator


Torii Mor 2005 La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir


Torii Mor 2005 La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir90 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


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


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


Torii Mor 2005 "La Cuillere" Member's Reserve Pinot Noir90 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


Torii Mor 2005 Willamette Valley Pinot NoirEditor'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


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


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


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 Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir


Torii Mor 2002 Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir
91 pts - "Firm, and a bit on the gamy side at first, but the wonderful raspberry, blackberry and bittersweet chocolate flavors win out in the end, lingering enticingly against fine tannins. Drink now through 2012." -H.S. Wine Spectator


Torii Mor 2002 Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir


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


Torii Mor 2001 "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir

92-"...this is a broad-shouldered wine redolent of oak, and yet that oak is held in check, tightly woven and already well-integrated with deep black cherry, almost plum-like fruit flavors." -Wine & Spirits

Gold Medal- Hilton Head Wine Competition-South Carolina

Torii Mor 2001 Olson Vineyard Pinot Noir

90 Points "This, coming from the owners’ estate vineyard in Dundee Hills, was my favorite of Torii Mor’s several bottlings.

Wine Spectator
