Ponzi, a pioneer in Oregon Pinot Gris, helped establish it as the state’s first quality white grape variety. Their Pinot Gris is aromatic, expressive, and perfect for easy drinking, offering fantastic value with serious pedigree. Sourced from Ponzi’s LIVE Certified Sustainable vineyards, including Avellana, Aurora, and Madrona, as well as select Willamette Valley sites.
A radiant and expressive white, the 2024 Pinot Gris opens with aromas of Asian pear, honeysuckle, and candied lemon, layered with dried ginger, basil oil, and caramelized pineapple. On the palate, mineral tones of limestone and lemongrass support green apple, pluot, and a subtle thread of cardamom. Fresh acidity gives the wine lift and tension, finishing with medium length and a gentle touch of ripe phenolics. A versatile wine that easily stands alone as an aperitif then pairs with Japanese, Chinese & Korean dishes as well as soft cheeses.
93 James Suckling A delicate, aromatic, light-bodied wine with a fresh and crunchy palate and mouthwatering acidity. Aromas of green pears, orchard fruit and blossoms, with flavors of grapefruit and white peaches. It is fresh, easy drinking and a great value.
