Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
"Recently sold to Champagne Bollinger, Ponzi is using the most recent releases to showcase the newly approved Laurelwood District AVA. Although the single-vineyard 2018 estate Chardonnays have already been released, this late-breaking 2017 reserve is all-estate fruit and shows the same careful winemaking as all the earlier releases. Toasty flavors of nutmeg, Key lime, crisp pear and a lovely saline note combine gracefully, offering top-tier quality at a moderate cost. Paul Gregutt"
