2022 Ponzi Vineyards, Pinot Noir, Laurelwood District, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

Ponzi Vineyards has set the bar for Oregon wines over the past 40 years. Vineyards are based in the Willamette Valley, where a steady and even ripening of Pinot Noir is possible – allowing the team here to be incredibly gentle in their handling of the wine. As a result, the true character of the grapes shines through: classic flavours of raspberry, rose and smoke combine with distinctive regional notes of chilli pepper, chipotle, magnolia and red clay.
