Ponzi Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve 2015 (91 WE)

“This excellent reserve celebrating the winery’s 45th anniversary is a multi-vineyard blend that includes grapes from the top cuvées. It’s high toned and scented with whiskey barrel aromas and hints of fresh bread, caramel and almond paste. Although there’s plenty going on, the fruit plays a supporting role to all the barrel flavors. Drink now and into the early 2020s.”
