2007 Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Noir

Established in 1970, Ponzi Vineyards is one of Oregon’s oldest winery.

Served this Pinot with salmon in puff pastry and it was a great pairing. This Willamette Valley wine is bright crimson in the glass with more strawberry than raspberry on the nose. It’s sharp enough to work with the buttery puff pastry but offers tons of cherry and red berry flavors that are so distinct of this varietal. The finish is long, intense but with a hint of sweetness.

Loved this wine.
