Ponzi Vineyards 2007 Vino Gelato, Willamette Valley, $24: The Ponzis have been producing great wines in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for more than four decades, and this delectable dessert wine is a favorite. It’s a blend of Muscat and Riesling, with the latter coming from 40-year-old estate vines. The resulting wine offers gentle aromas of honey, cloves, citrus and pears, followed by rich flavors of Texas pink grapefruit, starfruit and candied citrus. It’s a bold wine with plenty of acidity backing up the 16 percent residual sugar.
