Not much to add to what others have said here. Just an unbelievable sticky. Off the chart nose of golden sultanas, fig, roasted nuts and caramel. High viscosity on the palate that literally envelopes and saturates the entire mouth leading to a long seemingly everlasting finish. Miraculous paired with Cabrales Blue Cheese drizzled with honey. Likely elevated triglyceride level a 100 points on a 4 oz. pour. Wish I had more.

2019 Aubert Chardonnay Lauren Estate Vineyard

Decanted two (2) hours. Rich golden color. Offers array of combined orchard and tropical fruit aromas. Golden apple, pear, pineapple, mango combined with wisps of honeysuckle & baking spice. Provides lithe presence on the palate gliding effortlessly along as it winds its way to a long lip-smacking finish. A simply marvelous chardonnay that can be enjoyed now but should reward for a decade or longer.

2020 Aubert Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Concur w/Scott@arestuarants observations. Decanted three (3) hours and likely needed six (6) or more. Deep maroon in color. Displays combined aromas of red fruit flavors, red plumb, red cherry cranberry, currant set upon a dusty earthen base. Immense structure that was nearly unapproachable after three (3) hour decant. Fine grain tannins are fiercely astringent and drying moving to truncated mouth-puckering finish. Came back to this several hours later and veil was starting to lift but still giving little joy. I'm of the opinion this will require several years to tame down and approach. Can be had now but would definitely slow ox w/double, triple, quadruple decant.
