No tasting note for this wine.
Smoke, slate, yellow orchard fruit, honey and apricot notes flesh out in the 2012 Chardonnay Eastside Vineyard, another of Mark Aubert's sites planted with the Montrachet Clone. The heavy presence of rocks in this vineyard gives the wines a sense of energy that balances the overtness of the fruit. Even with all the richness, there is plenty of detail and nuance in the glass.
The 2012 Chardonnay Eastside is a heady, exotic wine. Tropical fruit, orange peel, apricot and floral-infused honey run through this extroverted Chardonnay. All the elements are so well balanced. A touch of reduction on the finish adds complexity and attractive freshness.
Informazioni sul produttore
The Aubert wines, particularly the Chardonnay, have a cult following – beloved for their rich, hedonistic style. Created by Mark and Theresa Aubert in 1999, the property makes some of California’s most sought-after Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, all from single vineyards across Sonoma.
