Nice acidity. Balanced. No wonder $40. Colin did not taste zin. Won’t be a every night wine. — 6 years ago

Very nice though I was hoping for the Lauren profile 😳 — 5 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 — 6 years ago
Really good Chardonnay, not buttery, nice and dry. — 2 years ago
Apple, lemon, blood orange, peach and hints of pineapple. Great acidity and minerality. — 4 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! — 4 years ago

Wow, this was awesome! High-end White Burg all the way. Camomile, butter, melons, and cream. Deep wine with a lovely texture. Coats the palate. — 4 months ago
