Avellana Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Picture shows 2014 but this is the 2012. A bit of a departure here for this producer. The palate on this 8-year-old delivers a generous mouthful of ripe, juicy, pineapple fruit, Finishes appropriately dry though and with solid structure. Could pass for a good California grower Chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Thought this was a nicely balanced Pinot from the Ponzi family. Red fruits followed with a little herb note. — 5 years ago

Arneis 2016

Amazing dry white that has limited production in the U.S. Thus varietal hails from the Piedmont region originally. Ponzi planted a plot back in 1990 and each year it produces this amazing wine. Peach, almonds. Some pear on the nose. Lovely aperitif or with appetizers. Small production so if you can find it...get it! — 5 years ago

9.0

Very nice Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley. Oak was present but not overwhelming and brought nice spice and sweetness to the fruit. The wine was clinically clean - certainly no funk, but maybe just a touch too “straight down the middle”. I quibble, as this was definitely a lovely Pinot. — 3 years ago

Aurora Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Tom Elliot
9.5

Great wine but be aware that it’s still very young. Not a typical Ponzi single vineyard Chardonnay, it’s still strong, greasy, reductive aroma and flavors are reminiscent of many a modern Cote de Beaune. Powerful, complex, detailed, earthy. Decant and aerate if drinking now but better still to cellar at least another 5 years. I’m projecting it will age gracefully for 25 years or more. — 4 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

This is kind of fun. I love pulling a bottle I bought from premier cru. I still have a few of them left. Even though I lost a few bucks in the ponzi scheme it wasn’t much. The upside is drinking a gorgeous bottle of wine I paid 19 bucks for 15 years ago!! Still very fresh with beautiful cdp notes of pepper and ripe fruit. Very well done! — 4 years ago

Still alive. Smokey and structured, must be the 100% new French oak with heavy toast.

Sam’s birthday at Grazia Kitchen. We ordered a bottle of this wine. Very nice but maybe a little bit too smooth and less remarkable than Ponzi. — 6 years ago
