among the early releases of the 2011 single-vineyard pinots from torii mor, the olson seems to be the one that had the most difficulty achieving full ripeness. scents and flavors are focused upon green tea, peppery herbs, even a suggestion of fiddlehead ferns. the fruit reaches rhubarb-level ripeness and remains there, but the balance and structure are first-rate.
