Ponzi, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Noir Reserve 2005

($60): A great example of Pinot Noir, Ponzi’s Reserve delivers incredible intensity and weight without being heavy or overdone.  As with their Reserve Chardonnay, Ponzi draws on a small amount of purchased fruit for this stylish wine that is filled with ripe spicy red and black fruit flavors complemented by a touch of earthiness. 90 Michael Apstein Mar 25, 2008
