2005 Aubert Chardonnay Lauren Estate Vineyard 94 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
Precise, sharp and nervy. Lemons, apples and a hint of custard. Very classy, almost Burgundian, with excellent length. A touch of minerals in the finish. WOTN.

2005 August West Chardonnay Rosella's Vineyard 90 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands
Ripe, sweet pineapple other tropical fruits mixed with and copius oak spice. Round mouthfeel with a slightly astringent and jagged oakiness on the finish. Impressive concentration, yet could perhaps use more time to get the oak integrated. A bit too creamy for me.
