2012 Olalla Vineyard Pinot Noir

Torii Mor’s 2012 Olalla Vineyard Pinot Noir start with a ripe, sweet aroma of dark chocolate, red and dark cherry notes, and berry notes, all framed by very light oak spices. The flavors are similar, with concentrated dark cherries, dark berries and a hint of red berries. The wine has a good acid balance that equalizes the darker berry notes. The long finish is thick, punctuated by spicy chocolate notes. The mouth-feel is round and sweet, a blend of power and elegance from old vines. The texture shows a rich-round tannin structure that fills the entire mouth and brings fullness to the long flavorful finish of spiciness. This wine will benefit from cellaring but can be enjoyed now with or without decanting.
