Torii Mor 2012 Deux Verres Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

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

A blend of several vineyards, this was aged for 17 months in French oak. The barrel influence is subtle, but the time in wood has helped to round out the tannins. The strawberry and raspberry fruit still has sharp edges and an herbal streak, bumping up against a smooth, chocolaty finish.
