Ponzi Vineyards Laurelwood Pinot Noir Reserve 2022

Willamette Valley

August 11, 2026 - Ponzi’s Pinot Noir Reserve is made exclusively from estate fruit, including some of Oregon’s oldest vines. For over 50 years, the Ponzi family has farmed 140 acres of certified sustainable vineyards on Laurelwood soils. Over time, the vines have evolved, with red fruit in their youth giving way to dark berry and brambly spice. The Reserve’s layered complexity make it one of the finest examples of site-expressive Pinot Noir in North America. As Wine Spectator once wrote, “All Oregon Pinot Noirs are measured against the Ponzi yardstick.”

Laurelwood District

August 11, 2026 - Crafted from LIVE Certified Sustainable estate vineyards rooted in the Laurelwood District AVA's signature windblown loess soils, Ponzi's Laurelwood Chardonnay is a benchmark for Oregon white wine.
