Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2015 La Colina aroma displays, dark chocolate notes and dark sweet cherries framed by a characteristic Dundee Hill earthy-dustiness. The flavors are rich, with sweetness, bright acidity and bright-forward dark cherries, followed by the same dark chocolate notes. The texture is rich, sweet, with a rich and spicy tannin structure. The mouth-feel is bright, with a bright acidity adding to the long fruity finish on layers of noticeable and velvety tannins. This wine can also be enjoyed now with decanting, or cellared for more complexity.
Vineyard Notes
La Colina Vineyard has been an integral part of the Torii Mor cellar since 2002, with blending into the “Deux Verres” Reserve, Dundee Hills Select and Willamette Valley Pinot noir. Located in the Dundee Hills AVA, the clonal varieties selected for this vineyard designate are: Pommard (64%) and Dijon 114 (36%).
Production Notes
Harvested September 19, with 23.9 to 24.1 Brix, the wine fermented 16 days, without cold soak, with RB2, and “l’Authentique” yeasts. The wine was aged for 22 months in 8% new French oak and the balance neutral oak. The barrels were racked in March after Malo-Lactic fermentation, then again in August when the blend was put together before returning to neutral barrels until bottling.
