Aubert 2023 Chardonnay “UV-SL” Sonoma Coast 100 Points

TWi 100 Points: “The 2023 Chardonnay UV-SL has vibrant notes of pink grapefruit, fresh pineapple, and peaches, giving way to nuances of Marcona almonds, wet slate, and white pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is compellingly silky with wonderful freshness, filling the mouth with layers of citrus, tropical, and orchard fruit flavors, finishing with epic length and depth. Stunning!”

Mark Aubert’s Notes: “The 2023 UV-SL Chardonnay is vibrant and inviting, perfectly encapsulating the dual longevity and instant appeal of this special vintage. The wine unfolds in a complex blend of fleshy apricot and mixed peel, warm layers of white pepper and sarsaparilla, honeyed florals, and sun-soaked slate. The palate is racy and energetic yet possesses undeniable complexity and generosity that promise longevity for the coming 10 to 15 years. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.”
