Introduction
We had trouble getting the entire group together, it gets so hard in the summer but we were able to cobble together 4 of us for this tasting
Flight 1 (1 note)
White
2018 Aubert Chardonnay CIX Estate Vineyard
95 points
A complete wine in terms of bouquet, palate, depth of flavor and finish. Notes of lemon, honeysuckle touch of vanilla and biscuit on the nose. The WOnderful texture on the palate, creamy with a healthy presence of acidity and wonderful textures. Aubert chards are year in year out exceptional and this 2018 CIX continues that legacy.
