Aubert
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Wow. The 2005 Aubert Lauren Vineyard chard is awesome. In fantastic shape after 10 years, this wine has all the attributes one expects from Mark's chardonnays: layers of flavor, a hint of oak, coupled with enough acidity to keep it vibrant on the palate. It has lost a bit over the years - when I first tried this in 2007 it was the best CA chard I had ever had (and it's still in my Top 5) - but the balance (which is where it's lost a bit) and long, layered finish is still spectacular. Kudos to Mark Aubert!
