Ponzi Vineyards Laurelwood Pinot Noir Reserve 2017
Willamette Valley
June 16, 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.”

Ponzi sustainably farms nearly 150 acres, with all vineyards LIVE Certified. The soils and elevation influence the wine’s character, transitioning from red fruit in younger vines to darker, richer flavors as they mature.
