Mark and Teresa Aubert founded their estate in 1999. It’s now one of California’s most collectible Chardonnay houses, built on estate vineyards, low yields and minimal intervention. Powder House is a hilly estate site on the Sonoma Coast, planted in 2013 on the powdery Goldridge sandy loam left by an ancient seabed. The vines are tightly spaced Hyde Old Wente and Mount Eden selections, among Aubert’s rarest Chardonnay clones, and have been dry-farmed in recent years. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, so a slight haze is normal. Expect candied lemon, citron, white nectarine and crushed stone, with sage, a hint of tea, orange blossom and a seashell minerality. The palate is dense and creamy, yet zesty and full of energy, with an electric, lemon-zest finish. Drink it with lobster, halibut or roast chicken, or cellar it for 10 to 15 years.

"The Powder House site is on Goldridge soils, planted in 2013. The tightly spaced Hyde Old Wente and Mount Eden selections have been dry farmed the past few years, according to Aubert. The 2022 Chardonnay Powder House features attractive notions of crushed stone, citrus oil, hints of tea and perhaps even bergamot. Medium to full-bodied, with great thrust and energy, this is zesty, clean and crisp, with terrific length."
