Torii Mor Winery 2007 Olalla Vineyard Pinot Noir

Appellation: Umpqua Valley

Bob Reid’s five-acre vineyard in the town of Winston, Ore., got its start in 1975, and this blend of Pommard and Dijon 115 clones ranks among Jacques Tardy’s finest productions. The attraction for you begins with exceptional color in the glass. Then, the nose is filled with Rainier cherries, cranberry, rhubarb, cinnamon, nutmeg and forest floor. Incredible smoothness awaits with delicious cherries and cranberries, capped by a cup of Costa Rica coffee. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $60.

Cases produced: 249.

Food matches: This suave Pinot Noir will pair well top sirloin, pork chops, veal, duck or a mushroom-based dish.
