Usually, I let these age more, but at age 7, this took about an hour to open and then was wonderful.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with black raspberries, charred meats, black pepper, wild herbs and slight violets.  Full  bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great balance.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Lush flavors of black raspberries, slight black cherries, spice and char.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and would be great with slow cooked full bodied foods such and beef stew or Roasted Squash.  Drink over the  next twenty years.  

Morillon is the Austrian word for Chardonnay.  This is an affordable Chardonnay that delivers above its price point.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has peaches with slight citrus and a bit of minerality/chalk.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is solid.  Flavors of peach with good acidity and minerality.  Good finish.  This will be better with a bit of food than on its own.  Scallops would be a good choice.  Drink over the next few years. 

Garnet in color, clear and bright.  The nose is hard cherry candy with powdered sugar.  Firm tannins.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is much  more "serious" with flavors of black cherries, cranberries and slight cherries.  Some complexity.  Long finish.  This seems to be about fully mature but should still have another five or so years at this level.  It is nice on its own but food matches might be more difficult.  Something with some spice would be good possibly a lightly spiced Thai dish.  

Ponzi is one of the old veterans making Pinot Noir in Oregon.  This is their "entry level" wine.  Garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, raspberries, slight vanilla and spice.  Firm tannins.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, sour cherries, black cherries and herbal notes.  A touch of mint on the finish.  This is a really great value in Pinot Noir and is middle of the road in style and should be a crowd pleaser.  It is nice on its own but better with food.  It went nicely with a Tomato, Cheese and Pesto slider.  Drink over the next three to five years.
