Ponzi Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve 2016 (91 JD)

“The 2016 Chardonnay Reserve is a richer, medium-bodied effort that has a solid kiss of oak to go with plenty of classy orchard and citrus fruits, toasted nuts, white flowers, and toasted bread. With great acidity, plenty of sweet fruit, and a clean, nicely focused finish, drink it any time over the coming 4-5 years.”
