Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Noir Classico 2016 (92 WE)
“This Ponzi Pinot offers brambly berry fruit wrapped in flavors of thistle and underbrush. It’s textural and aromatic, with lavender, sage and dried herbs. Sourced from multiple vineyards scattered throughout the Willamette Valley, it saw one-quarter new French oak for 11 months prior to bottling.”

Today winemaker Luisa Ponzi continues her work with the family of Champagne Bollinger, which acquired the estate in 2021.
