Ponzi 2010 Avellana Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Avellana
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Ponzi / Willamette Valley

This was not an easy vintage in which to make wine with as much fruit and concentration as this bottling, but winemaker Luisa Ponzi has done it. Deep cherry fruit comes laced with cola and chocolate notes, filling the textural, detailed and full-bodied palate. It demonstrates terrific length and an elegant, balanced finish.
