Ruby-red. Raspberry, white pepper and potpourri on the perfumed nose. Lively, focused and sweet, with zesty flavors of red and dark berries and candied rose. This very fresh, energetic pinot shows noteworthy vivacity and finishes clean and persistent.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2012-2019, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2011

Luisa Ponzi decided not to make any vineyard designates in the 2009 vintage so the 2009 Pinot Noir Reserve was the beneficiary of that fruit. Dark ruby red in color, it exhibits an alluring perfume of cedar, Asian spices, incense, lilacs, black cherry, and black raspberry. Meatier and richer than the Willamette Valley bottling, it has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years and will deliver optimum drinking from 2012 to 2019. Tel. (503) 628-1227; www.ponziwines.com
