Eastside Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Wow.

16’ Aubert Eastside Chardonnay. Did this deserve a perfect score from Jeb & Parker?
I think Lauren /CIX / UV-SL consistently year after year outperformed this. Possibly could be Mark’s best 2016. TBD!?!
Happy Father’s Day! Edit - If you’re opening it anytime soon, decant it for a bit.

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

Tons of acidity. Great long finish.

This was more integrated than the Ferren Silver Eagle. I would like to try this one again in a year or so. Fantastic.

From last night, the 2016 Eastside is spectacular - second only to the Lauren in my opinion (at least for this vintage). Fantastic.

Just a lovely Chardonnay all around

So amazingly delicious!

An unexpectedly strong partner to dumplings. Happy Chinese New Year.

Pours yellow with a green hue, citrus nose, initially a lemon and lime taste with a crispness and a touch of sweetness, after a few hours it mellows into an apricot & melon taste with the crispness giving way to a smooth full mouthfeel.
