Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesClassic spicy red fruited Oregon pinot with a savoury undercoating. The nose is aromatic and alive with notes of black cherries, rhubarb, and cloves. The palate is similar, with a sweetish caramel note and wild herbs in the back end, complete with a hint of baking spices. Silky tannins leave it ready to drink but with the stuffing to take on reasonably substantial menu items like duck, turkey, salmon, or mushrooms. The fruit comes from several vineyards sourced across the Willamette Valley. The two generation family winery was sold to the Bollinger family of Champagne fame in 2021.Tasted: 01 June 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesDick and Nancy Ponzi moved their young family to the Willamette Valley in the late 1960s with a spirit of adventure and a passion for making world class Pinot Noir. For the last 25 years, this philosophy has been carried on by the Ponzi family's second generation: President and Director of Sales and Marketing, Anna Maria Ponzi and Winemaker Luisa Ponzi. Their 130 acres of estate vineyards are LIVE Certified Sustainable. In 2021, the winery was purchased by Champagne's Bollinger family. This sees 20% new oak, providing more expansiveness to the soft, plush palate, one caressed by plump raspberry, juicy plum, and strawberry compote. Tannins are equally soft and welcoming, and this friendly pinot finishes with a dusting of baking spice. Smart intro to Willamette pinot noir from a pioneering family.Tasted: 01 June 2022Tasted by: Prices:
