Ponzi 2013 Avellana Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

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

This Ponzi-owned vineyard is in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, yet is listed simply as Willamette Valley. Aromatically intense and intriguing, it opens quickly with scents of chamomile, plum, peach and apricot, leading to hints of honey and tea. Aged entirely in neutral oak, this wine fully engages the palate through a lingering, beautifully proportioned and optimally ripe finish.
