Mark and Teresa Aubert founded their estate in 1999, and it has become one of California’s most collectible Chardonnay houses. Powder House is an eight-acre estate vineyard in downtown Forestville on the Sonoma Coast. It was planted in 2013 on powdery Goldridge soils, with the Hyde Old Wente and Mount Eden clones, two of Aubert’s rarest selections. Like every Aubert Chardonnay, it’s made with minimal intervention and bottled unfined and unfiltered. With a few years in bottle, the 2017 is drinking beautifully. Expect baked apple, poached pear, peach preserves and lemon confit, with white flowers, praline and a flinty, matchstick edge. The palate is full and juicy, with a long, pure finish. Pair with lobster, scallops or roast chicken, and drink through 2032.

97+ Points
"The first vintage of this wine, the 2017 Chardonnay Powder House comes from eight acres of what are now estate-owned vines planted in 2013, to Hyde Old Wente and Mt. Eden clones on Goldridge soils. The vineyard is located in downtown Forestville, right across from the high school. At 15.4% alcohol, like Aubert’s other single-vineyard, singular Chardonnays, this baby is no shrinking violet. Although it is a little youthfully closed to begin, it unwinds with coaxing to offer glimpses at baked apple, poached pears, peach preserves and pineapple upside-down cake plus hints of praline, crème brûlée and clover honey. Full-bodied, the palate features a wicked backbone of freshness, beautifully lifting all those concentrated, densely packed flavors, finishing very long and wonderfully pure."
