Napa Valley Chardonnay 2015

About what I rated the 09 in 2012 and the 14 in 2017. And I think I had a 12 not too long ago. These chards are good but this one particularly didn't hold a candle to a 14 Aubert Ritchie Chard. Hopefully not bottle variation on a 2015... Seemed to just not have a whole lot there. And I don't think it's because it is too astringent...the Judge wines seem to definitely rock it though. I got ahold of this one probably an hour after it had been open. — 5 years ago

I had this at pop and actually expected this to be a bit heavier than it was. It was fairly light but still rich. Lemon wafer, white flower and chamomile. If this is served around cellar temp, it’s actually got strong acidity and shows a good bit of minerality/limestone. This is a chardonnay that could probably evolve a bit over the course of an evening.

Aubert

Lucia Abreu Vineyard Red Blend 2006

Aubert typically known for their Chard (which is awesome) has a masterpiece red with this Boudreaux blend. Raspberry jam with a toasty vanilla and milk chocolate finish. Still young, but incredibly balanced and smooth. — 7 years ago

Aubert

Carneros Chardonnay 2015

Color hazy; due to cloudy sediment but nose is very complex with tropical fruits and muted vanilla overtones. In the mouth the fruit is rich, fruity, and smooth. A blockbuster wine with huge alcohol (15.2%) which is not appreciated in the initial tasting. I would consume this in its youth and first 5 years due to the fruit balancing the alcohol. — 7 years ago

Marcassin

Three Sisters Vineyard Chardonnay 2003

Trying to decide between the Aubert and this...somm recommend the '03 Marcassin - very wise man indeed - incredible oak and finish - nutty - still light color in the glass - aging very well — 8 years ago

Kongsgaard

The Judge Napa Valley Chardonnay 2010

Cult chard tasted alongside a 2010 Aubert Lauren Chard....this one lost by a unanimous vote (and it wasn't even a blind vote either). I think everyone WANTED the Judge to win, but there was nothing to Judge here. At least for THIS COMPARISON, in 2018, the Aubert was the winner. BUT, this Judge chard did have more acidity up front than the Aubert, and IMO this wine has more aging potential than the 2010 Lauren Chard, which was pretty much right on the top of the hill tonght. Hard to beat a wine in its prime window, but goes to show you that Aubert makes chards that will compete with this kind of opponent. Lots of acid up front. Stone ground fruit entry, mineral-rich middle. I think that I was getting more pear than anything else here, but there was a hint of youthful butter and some dates. Finishes with actually a really nice fruit/nutty/almost gritty/tannin character for about 60 seconds, which is the one thing I will say that I give advantage to the Judge. Bravo! — 6 years ago

@Benjamin Keator : I think it was Al

My first “Judge”. Incredibly inviting and a wonderful entry and mid palate. Great weight. Mark mentioned notes of pear which I agree with, alongside a pineapple purée. Impressed at where this was 8 years in and think this probably has a few more years of prime drinking.

Strawberries and blueberries, wonderful, smooth structure on the finish. Just the right amount of acids. Reuling is definitely my favorite Aubert Pinot. — 8 years ago

'Ma Belle-Fille' Chardonnay 2012

Undeniably well made Chardonnay with impressive viscosity, fullness and in your face decadence. I'm guessing this is a crowd pleaser. For my palate there is too much predominant oak here and a cloying sweetness on the denouement. I'm going to revisit tomorrow and see if there is a blow off. I still like it but I'd grab a Kongsgaard or Aubert over this every single time. — 9 years ago
