2017 Aubert Wines Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay Carneros

(98 Points)  --  (Wine Advocate)

Coming from Hudson selection, Old Wente clone vines that over 20 years old anComing from Hudson selection, Old Wente clone vines that over 20 years old and planted on the Napa side of Carneros, the 2017 Chardonnay Hudson features super intense notes of freshly squeezed lemon, lime zest, warm apricots and honeydew melon with hints of hay, paraffin wax and crushed nuts plus a waft of cinnamon toast. The full-bodied palate is very tightly wound with electric tension and has loads of citrusy accents coming through on the very, very long finish. (LPB)  Review Date: 10/2019
