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.

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.

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.

Gave this an hour decant. Straw color. Full bodied. Nose of lemon curd, subtle tropical fruits, melon, buttery popcorn, and a mineral note. The palette seems to float. Lots of glycerol, suspended on a ball of acid in the midpalette. The acid finishes long with bright citrus.
