These Aubert Pinots are noticeably Strawberry, versus many other Pinot noirs I enjoy (Oregon, burgundy, even Santa Rita hills) show the cherry or dark cherry style profile.
Just saying.

Another expressive Pinot Noir from Aubert…and it’s an appellation variety. This has intense strawberry and cherry fruit along with notes of soft spice, rhubarb and cola. Super long finish with excellent acidity throughout the tasting. Punches well above its weight despite its price point.

Sweet red fruit aroma, notes of cherry, strawberry, rhubarb?, dried flowers and sweet herbs. Very complex aroma. Nice “Pinot funk” too.
Sweet, dense, ripe, concentrated flavor with notes of baking spices and vanilla. Smooth and well balanced with lively acidity. Flavor expands on the palette over time. Long and complex finish.
Very, very good and in a better spot than the 2020 Sonoma Coast today. Drink or hold. Benefited from a 2-3 hour decant.

Day 1 this was quite tightly wound up. Of course i pop n poured so didn’t give it a proper decant, which I would highly recommend…I only drank a glass or maybe 2 on day one. I didn’t RE-try until day 3 , and now it is Exploding on the nose, with a dense dark ripe strawberry jam, continuing through the palate. You can still sense the oak, but is all a rich harmony of flavors. Quite delicious with a long finish. Nice.
