Ponzi Vineyards Aurora Chardonnay 2017 (96 JS)
“Spiced lemon-biscuit aromas with a fresh-peach thread, which, together with pastry and hazelnut notes, make for a complex nose. The palate has a very rich, layered and fresh feel with such intense, powerfully contained fruit. Loaded with peach flavors. Great composure and a toasty, grilled-hazelnut finish.”
