Spectacular. Honey, pear, lemongrass, papaya, and a hint of tangerine. Full-bodied. I love Aubert, and their wines from the Lauren Vineyard are my favorites. This one does not disappoint. — 5 months ago

Continuing on with the Shaw and Smith tasting from the Cellar Door. Raspberries and a confectionery note with silky tannins. Similar in style to the nearby Ashton Hills which I have often bought. The 2019 S and S Pinot was a sellout. — 5 years ago

The Carneros wines from Aubert are usually not my favorites - they have tended to be a bit over extracted for my tastes - but I may have to reconsider that if I let them age for a bit: this 2013 is excellent. Still doesn’t touch the Lauren vineyard wines - far and away my favorite - but this one has settled down considerably since we last tried it a few years back. Well integrated, and beautifully balanced provide you keep it below cellar temp (gets too flabby if it’s too close to room temp). Of course, this is splitting hairs: the starting point for Mark’s wines start is awesome and we just go from there! — 6 years ago

Another great last minute gathering at the storage facility!

Have yet to find a Napa or Sonoma winery whose chards keep me as head over heels as Aubert. Lauren is still my favorite followed by Larry & Sons, but this was doing very well 7yrs in. Butterscotch, wet rock, faint mint and white flower. — 9 years ago

Aubert never disappoints. This is delicious. Orange peel, ginger, and lychee. Still partial to their Lauren, CIX, and Eastside wines, but this is great. — 6 months ago

Compared to a 2010 Judge and 2010 Aubert Lauren, this one was easily the third place finisher. The fruit here is definitely there, acidity definitely there on the open.....would it be kosher to call a Peter Michael "boring" ?? That is pretty much the sentiment I had about this one. And of course I use that term very loosely because with a nice salmon or swordfish steak I would have been on Cloud 9 with this wine. It had RIDICULOUS competition tonight. Nice structure, very big on the opening, dried fruit notes on the middle, and very rounded edges on the finish. This is definitely the tux and tails Chard of the night, whereas the other two seemed to have more harsh edges. — 8 years ago

An exceptional wine. Aubert never disappoints (CIX and Lauren vineyards are my favorites). Creamy and complex. Candied ginger, pear, and lemon zest. — a year ago

Outstanding! Lemon cream, honey, and caramel. Zesty with a long finish. I love Aubert Chardonnays (their Pinots are pretty great too), but this is a special bottle. I may be slightly partial to their Lauren wines, but this is stunning. — 4 years ago

Mid Ruby turning tawny. Spicy perfume, a hint of violet, and with time notes of Rhubarb. On the palate easy power and intensity with red cherry and plum flavours. I have always enjoyed this Pinot Noir from when I first tasted it at a restaurant in Canberra 7 or so years ago. — 6 years ago

This bottle was opened next to a ‘13 Aubert Lauren and I’ll be darned if I wasn’t impressed at how good this was at this age. Very bright and tropical fruits on the nose, but nowhere near the signature lemon cream I get with Aubert’s SVD chards. Acidity is much more mellow than its Carneros counterpart. Light on its feet on the palate with lemon, honeyed mango and honey roasted cashews. Thanks for opening @Mark Flesher — 8 years ago
