Reviewed July 2024The 2022 bottling of the Ponzi entry-level Pinot Noir punches well above its weight class. The savoury and earth-driven elements buoy the dark fruits that predominate on the wine's finish. Rich soil notes and dried violets introduce the effusively aromatic wine, with hints of smoky clove and freshly turned soil. The palate offers redolent muddled blackberries with mint, whisps of graphite mineral tones and a finish of warm spices. (CP)

James Suckling
Bright and vibrant nose with strawberries, blood oranges, crushed spices, pine resin and dried herbs. Hints of bergamot. Very fine and tense phenolic structure, almost giving some chalky chewiness to it, but it’s very textural and refined. Medium-bodied with a mineral backbone. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Laurelwood District bursts from the glass with inviting scents of blueberry, red cherry, dried herbs, tobacco and orange peel. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, perfumed flavors and well-integrated new oak spice. It’s structured by silky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, floral finish. (EB)

A rich, red color, although a bit brighter, the 2022 Pinot Noir Laurelwood District comes from the Laurelwood District and leads with notes of toasted cedar, red cherries, licorice, and sweet sage. Medium-bodied, it’s more refined and a bit more linear, with fine, ripe tannins and an approachable feel. This is a more easygoing offering, with good freshness in a ripe style to drink over the coming 4-5 years. (AF)
