Aubert UV-SL Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2011 Rated 95WA

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 95
The 2011 Chardonnay UV-SL Vineyard emerges from a site on the Sonoma Coast seven miles from the ocean, just above Occidental. Apricots, peaches, wild flowers, nectarine and smoke are some of the multiple nuances in the glass. The UV-SL is another of the richer, more textured wines in the lineup. At the same time, the 2011 is a wine of vivid nuance, transparency and crystalline purity. Here, too, the 100% new oak barrels are totally integrated. It is so rare to find so much detail in this creamy, big Chardonnay, but it's all there. This is another utterly impeccable wine from Mark Aubert. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018.
