Description
Rooted in the Laurelwood District AVA along the northern slopes of Oregon's Willamette Valley, this 2022 Pinot Noir draws on Ponzi's Avellana, Aurora, and Linda Vista estate sites together with Gemini and Chehalem Crossing. The vineyards are LIVE Certified Sustainable, with windblown loess layered over volcanic basalt providing the wine's regional foundation.
Spring frost slowed the start of the 2022 season, but a vigorous summer and dry October supported complete ripening. Ponzi vinified the fruit in small lots with regular punch-downs, matured the wine for ten months in French oak with thirty percent new barrels, and allowed further bottle aging before release.
The producer's notes layer ripe raspberry, peppery warmth, smoke, and red-clay character with rose, magnolia, and clove. Dark, persistent tannins frame cola and savory spice, while cardamom, juniper, and blue-fruit tones shape the finish. Ponzi recommends serving it with seared duck, porcini risotto, or a beet and lentil salad.
