2018 Aubert Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard
5/7/2021 - cablover123 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Wow! While the quality of grapes are critically important, Aubert seems to have the ability to raise it 2-4 points higher then others for the same grapes. Bright and clear lemon on color. Lemon and pear on the nose. I am right in line with how Buntingwest described the wine. Finishes long and crisp. Aubert is definitely my "go to" chardonnay.

2015 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The Grand Daddy Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard
4/11/2021 - cablover123 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Decanted for three hours. Still a very good wine, however, the nose was extremely muted versus two years ago. Deep and dark in color. The dark fruits punch the palate. Dark cherries and blackberries. I am hoping this is in a stage and not starting to decline as it did not deliver as before.

2015 Black Cordon Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon The Coombsville Vineyard
2/20/2021 - cablover123 Likes this wine: 93 Points
Slow ox'd for four hours. It improved with air. Deep dark crimson in color with still a bit of alcohol on the edge of the glass. Dark, dark fruits and spices on on the nose. Dark plums and dark cherries on the palate with a 30+ second finish. I believe this still needs 2+ years to smooth out and will improve. I like that Black Cordon sells/ships wine with some age on it. The rating is today and could see it pushing 94-95. David and Karen make some great wines.
