17’ Aubert Lauren Chardonnay. Full -bodied rich & graceful.
Apricot, pear, orange marmalade. Racy acidity that should calm down in the next year. Without a doubt one of the most dense layered & textured chards coming out of Cali. Consistently, year end & year out can’t miss Chardonnay. Drink or hold for another decade. — 19 days ago
