A stunning example of Chehalem Mountains Chardonnay from Ponzi, the Avellana is aged in 100% neutral oak for 20 months. Without any new oak on the wine, you experience exactly what the fruit gives - yellow peach, crushed wet stone, Bartlet pear, chalky minerality, and grilled Meyer lemon. Round and lush with a lemony herb and pear finish. Medium acidity makes it start slowly and finish strong. Highly recommended.
