Pessagno
Central Avenue Paicines Estate Grown Pinot Noir 2016
At 10 years old this Pinot shines!! Wonderful blend of modest strawberry, hint of raspberry, mild earth tones and if you let it linger, a little licorice. As the wine quickly disappeared it felt like we had just begun. A great bottle! — 8 months ago

Two years since my last bottle, and the time definitely helped elevate the overall profile.
Annual anniversary opening of an Aubert as they are my wife’s favorite (and certainly up there in favorites for me as well).
The inaugural vintage for Park Avenue, this is a wine that bursts in to the room Kramer-style. No trepidation in profile for a first vintage wine, Park Avenue screams Aubert all day with some of the hallmarks of others in the lineup. To me, this seemed like a marriage of Larry Hyde (more acidity; bright) and CIX (more opulent; power). In the glass, I was surprised how clear this poured, and not the typical slightly cloudy look I’m used to. Aromatics of white peach, lemon scone, baking spices, and sea salt. The palate has Aubert richness and signature lemon cream, as well as a good vein of acidity (similar to LH, maybe also Powder House). Toes the line slightly toward elegant vs power (Lauren, CIX). Gorgeous mid-palate texture, lingering finish. Another home-run for the Aubert portfolio. — 5 months ago
