The 1992 Pinot Noir is a soft, accessible wine with an attractive nose of black fruits and earth, soft, velvety-textured flavors, medium body, and a luscious finish. Although it is drinking extremely well, it should age gracefully for at least 7-8 years. Ponzi's Pinot Noirs are always distinctive wines that drink well young yet have the cunning ability to age well. I recently attended a blind tasting where Ponzi's superb 1988 Pinot Noir Reserve was included with some $100+ bottles of Burgundy grand crus. Not one of the tasters (all French wine enthusiasts) recognized the Ponzi Pinot as a non-French wine. Moreover, it was placed first by a majority of the participants, dominating some very renowned and prestigious French Burgundies. Ponzi has been on a hot streak since the mid-eighties, with a bevy of top notch Pinot Noirs. Dick Ponzi continues to produce wines that are frequently reference points for Oregon's wine industry.
