Occasional wine note

Another gem from Aubert Wines, this single vineyard Chardonnay is all that and a bag of chips, though you should probably pair it with something more apropos to any occasion that includes a wine of this stature and elegance. The citrus leans more toward lemon curd and tangerine, which is wonderfully interwoven with peach, caramel and mineral undertones. Put this right near the top of your list for special California Chardonnays.

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Advocate

The 2018 Chardonnay UV-SL springs from the glass with wonderfully intense notes of candied orange peel, pink grapefruit and white peaches with suggestions of crème caramel and spice cake plus compelling sparks of yuzu zest and wet pebbles. The full-bodied palate is remarkably elegant with a gorgeous satiny texture and fantastic tension delivering a very long, energetic finish.

James Suckling

Intense aromas of lemon curd, lime zest, white peach, butterscotch and flint. It’s full-bodied and creamy, compact and phenolic. So focused. Crushed flint on a long, mineral and smoky finish.
