Torii Mor Winery<br />
Torii Mor Winery started <strong>with</strong> a vision: the pursuit of elegant, Old<br />
World style Pinot Noirs. Dr. Donald Olson moved to Oregon to pursue<br />
this vision and purchased an older vineyard in the Willamette Valley,<br />
planted in 1972, and renamed it Olson Estate Vineyard. High in the<br />
Dundee Hills, the 10 acres of old vines pro<strong>du</strong>ce high-quality Pinot<br />
Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay year after year. After the first vintage<br />
in 1993, <strong>with</strong> just 1,000 cases, Torii Mor now pro<strong>du</strong>ces 10,000 cases<br />
annually under the direction of Burgundian winemaker Jacques Tardy.<br />
Donald Olson<br />
Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. Donald Olson, made the quest to Oregon<br />
in the 1980s to acquire prime vineyard property in the emerging wine<br />
region of the Willamette Valley. He purchased an existing vineyard and<br />
Japanese garden outside the town of Dundee and officially became a<br />
vineyard owner, selling fruit to local wineries. In 1993, he decided to<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>ce his own wine and created Torii Mor Winery. The name derives<br />
from the “torii” gate in the property’s Japanese garden and the ancient<br />
Scandinavian word for “earth”….the perfect combination of Dr. Olson’s<br />
passion and heritage.<br />
