Torii Mor Winery
The focus here is tiny lots of handcrafted, vineyard-designated Pinot Noir. Founded in 1993 by Donald Olson, M.D., the winery was initially a small project that was intended to showcase fruit from his vineyard that was planted in 1972. The current winemaker is French born and trained jacques Tardy. Current production is 12,000 cases. The quaint oriental-themed tasting room is located at the winery. The Pinot Noir lineup includes a Dundee Hills Select, Anden Vineyard Pinot Noir, Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, La Colina Vineyard Pinot Noir and the top-of-the-line "Deux Verres" Reserve Pinot Noir which is excellent.
Articles About Torii Mor WineryReviewed Wines![]() 2006 Torii Mor Deux Verres Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 14.3% alc., 1,000 cases, $40. Select barrels from nine vineyards, mostly in the Dundee Hills (60%), with the rest from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. ”Deux Verres” means two glasses in French. The artist on the label is Janice Griffin from Portland, Oregon. · A touch of VA blows off revealing lovely scents of ripe cherries, baking spice, cedar and sage. Lovely and elegant in style featuring black cherry and blackberry compote and a deft touch of oak. The well-endowed tannins are smooth and the wine leaves a juicy impression on the finish.
