RATINGS

98The Wine Advocate

...there's tremendous fruit intensity here. Full-bodied and powerful, this blend of four heirloom selections remains exceptionally zesty, clean and fresh, with great length seamlessly allied to considerable richness.

96Wine Spectator

Generous and intense, but also elegant, offering salted butterscotch, marzipan and grilled peach notes backed by hints of herbs and spices.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...richest and most complete of the Aubert Chardonnays at this stage. It shows more of the Aubert signature textural depth and creaminess than any of the other Chardonnays in this range. Dried pear, lemon confit, dried flowers and chamomile flesh out in an understated yet deep Chardonnay...

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
