Winemaker Notes
The 2012 Larry Hyde & Sons Chardonnay shows intense flavors with bright natural acid. The initial aromatics are honeyed lemon oil, pineapple candy and even white flowers. With immense depth and concentration, the wine exhibits organic notes derived from the soil, such as green tea leaves and dried ginger. Strong acid tones frame the body with a sense of fresh squeezed lime juice. A wonderful green tint is in the edge of the color, which is reflective of the clonal material. The unique structure of this Chardonnay is focused, and will allow this wine to age for 8+ years. This wine has a slight hazy clarity showing their commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons (1,000 cases) comes from a 4-acre vineyard that produces nearly 1,000 cases. The straw color reveals a greenish hue, and the wine bursts from the glass with notes of exotic fruits, wet stones, limes and white peaches. It has a kinship to a great Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne. Complex and full-bodied with stunning purity, richness and acidity, this killer Chardonnay should drink well for 6-10 years.

Wine Spectator
This unfolds slowly, with a beam of lemon-lime citrus, green apple and honeysuckle flavors, and should reward short-term cellaring, showing hints of vanilla and cream on the finish. The greenest of the Auberts. Drink now through 2020. 875 cases made.

Mark Aubert’s Sonoma Coast vineyard-designate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs have risen in popularity at a dizzying speed. Aubert’s career in winemaking began in 1989 at Peter Michael under the tutelage of Helen Turley, which led to his time at Colgin, Sloan, Futo and then Bryant Family, before founding Aubert Wines with his wife Teresa in 1999. His wines express the essence of singular terroirs with an effortless grace. Mark crafts the wines of Aubert to speak to a variety of wine lovers with one thing in common – selective palates that expect nothing but the best.
