Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 6, 2023 - TOP SHELF WINE WEEKEND: There were a couple of Auberts in the tasting that I inadvertently dodged and for whatever reason was unable to conjure up the logistical prowess to get to them and proffer some sort of comparison between the Auberts and the Vice Versa Platt. That said, I’ll say that I can pretty much guess the obvious here (I’m a master at guessing the obvious by the way), specifically in that the VV is typically the more acidic and popping in profile relative to the stylistically creamy and pillowy Auberts. This to me is a stylistic thing. Much like Champagne and Ultramarine, it’s ok to like both styles, though I admittedly gravitate more toward the acid and uber fresh lemon juice contour over the riper and sweeter style (so, full disclosure there).

I’ve written multiple tasting notes on the VV specifically, so I’ll simply say that this bottle was consistent with previous experiences. Great verve and focus, with elevated yellow citrus brilliance. One of the few domestic Chardonnays out there that I’m drawn to.
