Mark and Teresa Aubert founded their estate in 1999, and it has become one of California’s most sought-after Chardonnay houses. UV-SL is one of their signature single-vineyard bottlings, from a Sonoma Coast vineyard farmed by the late Ulises Valdez, one of the region’s most respected growers. It’s Aubert’s largest-production Chardonnay and a great introduction to the house style. Like every Aubert wine, it’s made with minimal intervention and 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. Expect lime zest, white peach and orchard fruit, framed by crushed stone and a touch of white pepper. The palate is full yet zesty, with real energy, tension and a long, linear finish that Joe Czerwinski called “a laser beam of bright fruit.” Pair with oysters, crab or roast chicken.

94 Points
"Not since Robert Parker himself reviewed this wine have vintages of it scored in this vicinity. When viewed in isolation, the 2020 Chardonnay UV-SL is a thrilling wine; only in the rarified air of Aubert's range could a 94-point rating be considered disappointing. It's more linear and direct than the opulent, flamboyant 2021, with pronounced notes of crushed stone framing lime zest and white peaches. Full-bodied yet zesty, clean and refreshing, it's a laser beam of bright fruit, seemingly without the typical Aubert fleshy curvaceousness. Some drinkers may even prefer it for that stylistic leaning."
