Country: US / Tavola
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Ponzi / Willamette Valley
Soft, silky and seductive, this qualifies as an outstanding everyday Pinot (by Oregon standards) that offers more subtle scent and flavor than most under-$30 bottles. Violets, cherries and star anise are mixed in the nose; the palate adds herbal and earthy nuances.
