2020 Aubert - Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Powder House Estate

Mark and Teresa Aubert founded their estate in 1999, and it has become one of California’s most collectible Chardonnay names. Powder House is a small estate vineyard near downtown Forestville, on the powdery Goldridge soils of the Sonoma Coast. It’s planted to Hyde and Mount Eden clones, among Aubert’s rarest, in north-facing rows. As with every Aubert Chardonnay, it’s bottled unfined and unfiltered, so a slight haze is normal. Lisa Perrotti-Brown called Aubert’s 2020 Chardonnays some of the finest he’s ever made. This one bursts from the glass with key lime pie, melon, plum and lime zest. The palate is concentrated and opulent, yet fresh and zesty, with a long, mineral finish. Superb with delicate white fish, lobster or roast poultry.
