Tavola Pinot Noir

Ponzi Description

The nose is lively with spiced cherry, dried cranberry, raspberry jam, light cedar, and a hint of white pepper. The palate bursts with fresh, juicy acidity, unfolding layers of cherry cordial, cranberry, and red plums, accented by subtle dried herb undertones. Light, fine tannins are seamlessly integrated, lending structure and elegance to the finish.

James Suckling: 92

A valley-wide blend of grapes that gives a vibrant, fresh and bright sense of red fruit, balanced by raspberries, black cherries and a rich texture on the palate. Light tannins, fresh acidity and a clean, balanced expression.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Tavola comes from estate vineyards (65%) and purchased fruit. Matured for eight months in 25% new French oak, it has inviting scents of black cherries, blackberries, holiday spices, earth and bitters. The medium-bodied palate is brimming with spicy berry flavors. It’s framed by soft, velvety tannins, and fresh acidity highlights floral perfume on the long finish.
