Tasting Notes 124 found

Sitting in a box in my basement since delivery. "dark" brooding aromatics of black cherry, cola, damp oak and spices. Soft mouthfeel. Palate elevation and coating. This is a very interesting wine that i love. I need to wait 5 years before opening my last bottle. I think this might be spectacular then. (454 views)

Pulled the cork 2hrs before dinner of mushroom risotto and was singing! Signature Aubert fruit, acid, tannin but beware the 15.3% alcohol will sneak up on you but is not noticeable. The wine is in fabulous balance. Not near peak, drink or hold. (686 views)

Pale ruby color. Pronounced aromas of cherry, blueberries, dried herbs, baking spices. High acidity, soft tannins, medium to high alcohol (but not hot, except for maybe that spiciness) and body. Pronounced flavors of tart red cherries, dried herbs, blueberries and baking spice. Long finish. (945 views)

This was absolutely lovely in the purist sense of Pinot, with a field of strawberries on the nose and palate immediately out of the bottle. This was decanted for a couple of hours, which helped it to bring out some lovely herbal notes, but overall this was ready to go. Did well with the crowd but definitely overshadowed by the 2006 Sloan and 1986 Montrose. (395 views)

Very interesting. Bottle opened 2 days ago and closed with cork only. Deep garnet color. Strawberry, kirsch, dried flowers on nose. Rich mouth feel. I really like it. Likely needs tons of decant to enjoy now. I think this might be spectacular 5 years from now. Jenna 94-96. (734 views)

This was a very nice but perplexing wine. I have had several Aubert Pinots from multiple vintages. This was somewhat confounding. Absolutely nothing wrong with this bottle but seemed somewhat muted compared to other bottles. Most have been quite distinctive and made in an old world style. This was heavier, earthier, more fruit forward with an emphasis on darker fruits, blackberry, plum and cassis. Very smooth, more full bodied than other Aubert offerings. A great accompaniment to New Years Day traditional ham and hoppin john dinner. (401 views)

ABSOLUTELY the best California pinot noir I have ever tasted! We decanted it, let it sit undisturbed for at least an hour and tasted. We were blown away by its deep color, its fragrance and its purity of flavors and lack of any competing tastes except for the fruit. We have cellared this wine since it arrived in our home in 2018. Enjoy it now if you have some, but I'm confident it will last several more years. (868 views)

Similar to my notes of last summer. This is an awesome bottle of pinot noir. Red fruit on the nose, the palate is a medley of raspberry, black cherry, strawberry, plums and cranberry swirling over your taste buds leading to a smooth, long, lingering finish (1729 views)

Dark red fruit, took a bit to blow off the bad breadth. Developed nicely, reminiscent of Vosne-Romanee Burgundy. Probably better a few years ago but still delicious. Let it breathe for 2 hours, no more. (278 views)

What a difference from the last bottle (which I'm now thinking might have been off somehow). Beautiful from the first sip and got better from there. Well-balanced with distinct but complementary layers of fruit and nice acidity. Tannins nicely resolved, and no astringency as I found with the earlier bottle. A real pleasure. (401 views)

Quick tasting note today. This is an aromatic, highly concentrated wine despite being visually less saturated. But my word is it hot. The high alcohol brings a ton of aromaticity but feels spiky when you drink it.

I like the wine, but now I'm stumbling around my kitchen. I would have preferred something more restrained than a 15-handle. (927 views)

Cherry, cola, spice, and expensive fresh oak. Huge alcohol and heavy tannin. Some earthiness an hour after opening.

This is not a delicate wine, but one that stands up to or even requires food. Unlike other Aubert offerings we’ve had so far, though this may just be in an awkward phase in its life.

lavender, vanilla, anise, dark berries, blackberry, licorice. The most powerful and in your face flavor forward of the trio. Alcohol is felt at 15.3, but everything is full throttled with this wine. (601 views)

Super complex aroma - deep and intense red berries, earth, herbs, dried flowers. Smells amazing.

Smooth, fruity red fruit flavor with a long tea-like finish. Wide, expansive flavor that fills the palette. Lots of complexity and minerality. Well balanced. Powerful.

Opened up nicely after a 1 hour decant but better around hours 2-3. Outstanding Pinot Noir! Drink or hold. (2203 views)
