Aubert
Napa Valley Chardonnay
Thank you so much to my good friend David Lentine @David L for gifting this bad boy to me. Gorgeous Chardonnay wit's some age on it. Perfectly integrated with beautiful notes of oak, honey suckle and a great minerality.
Rockstar bottle from my rockstar friend!! Thanks bud! I owe you one!

Probably one of the top Chard's in Napa. An elegant, creamy and well structured beauty with notes of apricot, stone fruits, lemongrass, flint and other minerals. Spectacular!!

Apr 30th, 2017Oak is pretty integrated but this is rich, a bit buttery and with some clear butterscotch notes that evokes a bit of sweetness. Got richer with air.

Jul 21st, 2022Another winner from Mark Aubert. Took about 15-20 min to open up, but then the nose was redolent with aromas of lemon peel, ripe melon, and hints of butter. Great balance across the mid-palate, with a lingering finish. Much better than when I last tried this a couple of years ago, suggesting that this has evolved with a bit of time in bottle. That being said, I suspect this is peaking now, so don't wait too long!
