Ponzi Vineyards, Old Vine, Chehalem Mountains 2018 96
A dazzling wine made with fruit from a section of the original Ponzi estate vineyard planted in 1970. After fermentation with native yeasts and six months of lees stirring, the wine stays in neutral Pinot Noir barrels for almost two years. The wine possesses an otherworldly texture, accompanied by aromas and flavours of butterscotch, papaya, orange blossoms and cardamom spice. Wow! Drink 2022-2032 Alcohol 13.6%
