Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris 2025

Willamette Valley

September 03, 2026 - Ponzi, a pioneer in Oregon Pinot Gris, helped establish it as the state’s first quality white grape variety. Their Pinot Gris is aromatic, expressive, and perfect for easy drinking, offering fantastic value with serious pedigree. Sourced from LIVE Certified Sustainable vineyards like Avellana, Aurora, and Madrona, it features aromas of marmalade, yellow plum, and honeycomb, balanced by lemongrass and lavender. The textured mouthfeel shows dried apricot, mango, and vanilla, finishing with bright acidity and salted caramel.
