Ponzi 2012 Reserve Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Ponzi / Willamette Valley

If you like a bigger, broader style, with plenty of toast and buttery goodness, this is the one for you. It spent a year in one-quarter new barrels, another eight months in neutral oak. Oily, buttery and loaded with ripe peach, pear and pineapple fruit, it’s a wine to drink chilled and early, while it retains all of its innate freshness.
