Today, Ponzi is excelling more than ever with Dick & Nancy’s daughter, Luisa at the helm. Famous wine writer, Hugh Johnson (Pocket Wine) mixed no words about Ponzi when he declared them, “a legendary producer now in 2nd generation making excellent wines.” With their superstar daughter, critics have never been kinder. Wine Enthusiast’s Paul Gregutt said of the 2nd generation superstar, “Luisa Ponzi… one of the brightest stars among the new generation in Oregon.” And of course the king himself, Robert Parker, Jr. couldn’t help to weigh in: “Ponzi Vineyards remains a reference point for American Pinot Noir with winemaker Luisa Ponzi at the top of her game.”
Since taking over from her pioneer parents, Luisa has racked up triple digit 90+ scores. So it’s no surprise that her 2nd ever bottling under the recently approved Laurelwood AVA label outpoints her double 93-point inaugural bottling, an absolute dazzler in the 2018 vintage that gave Oregon winemakers perfect conditions throughout the late summer into harvest.
From a northern ridge of Chehalem Mountains, this Pinot Noir shines with inviting notes of raspberry, wild strawberry and dried herbs. It’s a vibrant, supple wine that even boasts a little spice – a wonderful differentiator here. With 14 months in 20% new Oak, this wine comes out super refined and will continue to drink beautifully for the next decade plus.

“Luscious aromas and flavors of blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Medium to full body with round tannins and a savory finish. Spicy, with cardamon and clove, black licorice and sage. Sustainable.”

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
