($34):  Ponzi is one the leaders in Oregon Pinot Noir.  Their Reserve bottling is consistently top-notch because they make only about 1,500 12-bottle cases of it.  The lesser quality fruit goes into their two lower tiers of Pinot Noir.  This Reserve has an exciting combination delicate fresh red fruits and leafy savory notes.  Flavors dance across the palate and linger.  It’s my idea of Pinot Noir–flavor without weight. 92 Michael Apstein May 31, 2011
