Greenwing is part of the Duckhorn portfolio of wines.  This is 96% Pinot Grigio and 4% Pinot Blanc.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with white peach, slight minerality and a hint of lemon/citrus.  Light to medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  On the palate, the lemon comes out a bit more along with a slight steely/mineral note.  Moderate finish.  This is an easy drinking-easy going white wine that is nice on its own and will work with lighter meals.  Caprese Salad would work well.  Drink over the next year or two.  Good value.  

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.  

Garnet/purple in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is deep with black cherries, slight black raspberries, dust and char.  Medium bodied.  medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is tart.  Cherries and slight cranberries.  A very different profile from the nose to the palate.  The finish has a bit of green bell pepper.  A very interesting Pinot that seems to go in many directions but is still very enjoyable.  It is nice on its own and will work well with food.  This would work well with Pork Tenderloin.  Drink over the next five to eight years.
