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. — 4 years ago

Nice body fir such a light wine — 4 years ago
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
Smooth, easy to drink. Great with pasta with hot Italian sausage in a red sauce. — 5 years ago
Excellent full bodied white wine, dry with an intriguing finish — 6 years ago
Young and a bit tight today but displays obvious great potential. — 7 years ago
Awesome Pinot — 4 years ago
Still alive. Smokey and structured, must be the 100% new French oak with heavy toast.

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! — 5 years ago
Amazing!!! — 6 years ago
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! — 6 years ago
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. — 7 years ago
