2019 | Ponzi Vineyards | Tavola Pinot Noir

Aromas of spiced red fruit; clove, cardamom, cracked black pepper, fennel, paprika and wild thyme lead to a bright palate with notes of caramel, coffee and light cranberry and Bing cherry.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Pale ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Tavola has pure aromas of cranberries, blueberries, Earl Grey tea leaves and potpourri. The light-bodied palate is grainy, fresh and floral with very pretty, earth-laced fruit and a long, perfumed finish.

Producer Information

Ponzi Vineyards, established in 1970, is considered one of the founding Willamette Valley wineries. Ponzi's single vineyard Pinot Noir wines have been critically acclaimed, but Pinot Gris and Chardonnay further key grapes, while Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Arneis and Dolcetto also feature. Still, dry wines are the focus but sweet and sparkling wines are made in small volumes. The company owns or manages 175 acres (71 hectares) of vineyards, mostly on the north slope of the Chehalem Mountains AVA. Here the soils are exclusively the Laurelwood type, with a volcanic basalt base topped with ice-age wind blown sediments. They are iron-rich and very suited to the production of Pinot Noir. This soil profile led the Ponzi Family and the Johnson family of neighboring Dion Vineyards to submit an application for a new AVA in 2016. Laurelwood District AVA was approved in 2020. Ponzi is family-owned and operated. Dick and Nancy Ponzi bought their first plot of land in Willamette Valley in 1969 after experimenting with Pinot Noir in California. Nowadays, Pinot Noir is Oregon's most-planted variety and the region is famous for it. Ponzi Vineyards has expanded to make 45,000 cases a year.
