2018 Aubert "Powder House" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2018 Aubert "Powder House" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (99RP, 97JD, 96JS, 96WS, (92-95VN)). Wine Advocate: "The second vintage of this wine, the 2018 Chardonnay Powder House comes from eight acres of what are now estate-owned vines planted in 2013 to Hyde Old Wente and Mt. Eden clones on Goldridge soils. The vineyard is located in downtown Forestville, right across from the high school. It bursts with tantalizing notions of peaches and cream, orange sherbet and lemon pastilles giving way to a grounded, serious core of Bosc pears, beeswax and baking bread. Full-bodied with a gorgeous creaminess to the texture, it delivers loads of citrus sparks among the stone fruit background with a lively backbone and very long finish. (LPB)" (01/2021)
