2021 Aubert Wines Eastside Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley

(97 Points)  --  (Wine Advocate)

The 2021 Chardonnay Eastside—from a chert-rich vineyard planted in 2006—features scents of crushed stone and dried herbs, a hint of pastry crust and bright tangerine and lime fruit. Like the rest of Aubert's Chardonnays, it's unabashedly rich yet simultaneously cool and structured, with crisp citrus and complex spice notes on the lingering finish. (JC)    Review Date: 07/2024
