Willamette Valley’s Ponzi Vineyards has been crafting earthy, terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines for over 50 years. The cool climate varieties thrive in the region’s moderate temperatures, volcanic soils, and varying elevations. The Laurelwood District within the Willamette Valley has well-draining silt soils that create wines with abundant spice and floral notes.

Ponzi Laurelwood District Pinot Noir blends predominantly estate-grown fruit from within the region, producing a wine rich with character. Raspberries, pomegranate, wild roses, flint, and toasted spice combine to create a juicy wine with vibrancy and energy. The acidity in the wine is balanced by soft tannins, creating a luscious palate that pairs with anything from grilled salmon or roasted chicken to light game dishes, like roasted quail stuffed with wild mushrooms.
