Fruit exclusively from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits and blossom and spice. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with a touch of zesty lemon, crisp, with nitty vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, long finish, vivid acidity. — a month ago
Mixed spice on the nose transitions to honeydew melon and roasted nuts and elderflower. Possesses depth and texture with moderate acidity. Nice lengthy finish. Loving this…

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). — 6 months ago

Dark golden in color.
Strong fruity nose with light cedar, vanilla, yellow apples and spices.

Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, spices, cedar, earth, vanilla, herbs and white pepper.
Tangy finish with limes and almonds.
This Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Russian River Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced and good right out of the bottle.
This 6 year old Chardonnay is complex and engaging. Elegant, fruit forward and rich.
I had this vintage 4 years ago, and it is still delicious. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
100% Chardonnay grapes were barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months on the lees. A very small production of only 6 barrels.
