Winemaker Notes
A wine with a definite sense of place, the 2016 Eastside Chardonnay gives a strong impression of its stony terroir. Aromas of white peach, pear liqueur and a hint of smoke are impossible to resist. The incisive minerality carries the mouthfeel from beginning to end and is supplemented with dried apricot and musky lime. The greenish hue on the edge of the glass is indicative of the health of the wine. Balanced and well-proportioned, drink this wine over the next 10-15 years. The wine is slightly hazy showing Aubert's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chardonnay Eastside Vineyard is scented of lemon tart, baking bread, crushed stones, clover honey and shaved almonds with hints of pure, sliced pears and Golden Delicious apples. Full-bodied, elegant, fine and restrained, the silken palate has a quiet intensity, finishing long with savory layers. Barrel Sample: 97-100 Points

Jeb Dunnuck
Another perfect wine is the 2016 Chardonnay Eastside Vineyard, which comes from a site on the east side of the Russian River Valley. All from a suitcase clone from Montrachet, it has a perfumed, vibrant bouquet of caramelized green citrus, crushed rocks, orange blossom, and candied ginger. While it’s a full-bodied, powerful wine, it has an incredible sense of freshness and purity, with more saline/oyster shell notes developing as it sat in the glass. It’s another tour de force from Mark Aubert!
