Vintage 2012 

The last four vintages have all had late starts, and 2012 was no exception. Spring brought us warmer and dryer weeks than we had expected. Despite record rain in March, the summer was dry, and temperatures reached the 100° in early August. Warm east winds desiccated the ripening fruit throughout September and October, causing us to have smaller than usual clusters and berries. The grapes did have higher sugars levels, the flavors were darker, and the tannins were not consistently ripe.  

 

2014 Winemaker's notes

Cherry and spice notes in this Pinot Noir give it a friendly and easy going personality with floral notes and a long finish perfect for pairing with most foods and most people. Whether you're new to Pinot Noir or are a dedicated Pinot fan, this juicy and brightly acidic wine will please everyone.

Winemaker Notes
At Torii Mor, we believe that the best possible wine is crafted by fermenting each vineyard block in designated lots until the final blending stage. This process enables us to not only know each vineyard individually, but also to express each vineyard’s characteristics, allowing us to optimize the final blend and produce a truly outstanding Pinot Noir.
