Excellent. I am slightly partial to Tor’s Torchiana, but this great. Meyer lemon, brioche, guava, apricot, vanilla, and almonds. — 5 months ago
A good wine but I was expecting more. Hopefully the next bottle will be more to my expectation. — 7 months ago
Notes of baked pineapple on the nose. Lifted, extravagant palate of roasted almonds and crème brûlée. Oily, viscous and heavy on the mid palate. Very little acidity to talk about. Finished with a hint of nutmeg and mango. Burgundy lovers should fall back. — a year ago


For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 5 years ago
This 2001 Tor West Block is being poured by Tor himself at “From the Cellar” event at Pebble Beach Food & Wine was my favorite red from this particular event.
Tor is humble and a great Napa Ambassador. If you like Napa history, his book is a good read.
From the Cellar might be their best event dollar for dollar. All older wines being poured from larger formats.
Paired well with the Short Ribs. My second favorite dish of the event. — 2 months ago
Dark red fruit, mocha and graphite. — 7 months ago
This is a typically rich and voluptuous example from Tor. It’s flashy on the mid palate displaying roasted pineapples and a hint of lychee. This is a multidimensional example with delicate wood treatment and soft acidity. The finish extends and expands with a sexy sweet conclusion. Take a look if you can find it. — 9 months ago
