Ponzi Vineyards Avellana Chardonnay 2016 (94 VM)

“Light, shimmering gold. A suave, deeply perfumed bouquet displays tangerine, iodine, fresh fig, jasmine and buttered toast qualities, with subtle vanilla and toasty lees notes in the background. Impressively concentrated but lively as well, offering powerful citrus and orchard fruit, anise and floral flavors that take on a smoky nuance with air. Shows real power and mineral drive on the finish, which hangs on with superb tenacity and lingering florality. All whole clusters; 50% new French oak.”
