Torii Mor 2006 Deux Verres Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Deux Verres Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Torii Mor / Willamette Valley

This blend of many vineyard lots seems less than the sum of its parts. Pungently herbal with characteristic Oregon tomato leaf tannins, its fruit remains hidden beneath the tannins. Age may enhance its beauty, but for the moment it remains tight and unyielding, with suggestions of heat around the cranberry/pomegranate fruit.
