Ponzi Vineyards Avellana Pinot Noir 2017 (94 JS)
“This has a very rich, fresh array of ripe dark cherries and a rose-hip and brown-tea edge. The palate has a very smooth, silky feel with layered tannins that deliver flavors of red-cherry pastry and long, fluid, pure cherries.”

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