2020 Aubert Chardonnay Russian River

This non-single vineyard chardonnay from Aubert is fabulous with its smooth tannins and complex notes of butterscotch, stone fruit and light oak with subtle notes of oak on the finish. This punches well above its price point.

This Italian grown Cab Franc has intense aromatic blackberry fruit with notes of tobacco, licorice, mocha and dark chocolate. Super smooth tannins after a 60 minute decant (a must) and then some hints of mint on the finish. This is an interesting and complex wine to fully savor.

Layered, expressive, and ripe Napa Cabernet with dark blackberry fruit. Classic notes of mocha, dark chocolate, cassis along with hints of vanilla and spice on the finish. After a 60 minute decant, this becomes silky smooth with tannins that beautifully integrate into the fruit. Absolutely give this time in a decanter/glass before drinking.
