Coming from deeper basalt soils, brilliant aromas emerge from the 2019 Pinot Noir Reserve, which offers up notes of red cherry liqueur, crushed roses, and well-balanced oak spices. Medium to full-bodied, it captures wonderful freshness, with ripe tannins, a focused, more linear mouthfeel, and a spicy, fresh finish. It's a touch more austere compared to the other Pinots from Ponzi, but I enjoy its more angular feel already. It's an age-worthy wine that needs time to open up over the coming 10 years.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Reserve Laurelwood District comes from own-rooted old vines planted in the 1970s and 1980s. It has savory aromas of cranberry jelly, licorice, burnt orange peel, forest floor, tea leaves and conifer. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with juicy fruit supported by finely grained tannins, and it has a long, spicy finish.

A stunning combination of brisk acidity, silky tannins and voluminous fruit begins with aromas of blackberry jam, coriander, cedar and a trace of vanilla. Black cherries and dark plum fruit flavors form a ball around a core of orange pekoe tea and milk chocolate. A full, rich mouthfeel only heightens the wine's sense of delightful decadence.
