Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2023

9.2

Obviously, not as nuanced and textured as the single vineyard bottlings, but no complaints from us. Less amplification, but still possess the Aubert signature on the mid palate. Roasted pineapples and lychees caress the palate. Great balance and acidity. — 18 days ago

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

A beautiful, refined, bright, creamy wine. Tasting honeydew, white peach, butter, cashew, oak, and a hint of honey. Just what I would expect from Aubert (my favorite Chardonnays). — a month ago

Eastside Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2016

I like these a lot but no more holding. Lacking a bit of punch. I’m late on these. — 12 days ago

Yep, that’s my observation, Aubert and in general Napa chards beyond 7-8 years of age are flakey.

Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — a month ago

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.

Idk if the winery offers this, but I’d love to sit with their vineyard guys or winemakers and just dig deep! Like go over soil types and weather

UV-SL Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

2019 vintage. Tasted 20 mins after opening. Medium heavy body. Some great complexities in the flavors along with an oppressive amount of concentration. Totally not my style for red Burg/Pinot but it apparently works for them and theirs. Deep Pinot In Rock. Hesher/heavy metal pinot. Let’s go space truckin c’mon. 9.1.24. — 3 months ago
