Aubert Powder House Chardonnay 2017

HED52121 75cl 15.1%
For more than a decade, winemaking sensation Mark Aubert has produced some of the greatest and most consistent Californian Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 2017 was the inaugural vintage of Powder House and it is a mix of two clones from a single Sonoma County vineyard planted on the famed Goldridge soils. It is bold, intense and delightfully voluminous with notes of tropical fruits, poached pear, honey and spices. Despite its natural amplitude it is impeccably balanced and incredibly pure, carrying forth admirable flavour concentration and complexity through its considerably long finish.
The 2017 Chardonnay Powder House Vineyard is bright, punchy and full of life. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and almond all race out of this plush yet vibrant Chardonnay. There is so much to like in this striking, delineated Chardonnay. The Powder House is the one wine in this tasting that is far showier from bottle than it was from tank. It is also the most approachable of the 2017 Chardonnays. For that reason, I would choose to drink it ahead of the other Chardonnays in the range.

Aubert

Aubert was founded by Mark and Theresa Aubert in 2000, located on the famous Silverado trail in Calistoga. Before he and his partner opened Aubert, Mark had gained experience at the Peter Michael Winery and Colgin Cellars and also made wine at a 'custom crush' facility in California. Aubert have some proprietary vineyards, around three and half acres in Sonoma, which they bottle under the 'UV' label. The remainder of the fruit is sourced from selected vineyards across Sonoma and Napa.

In the world of wine, Aubert is really a byword for world-class single vineyard or single block Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards they source from represent a mix of terroirs and include some old vines as well as some recent plantings. What remains consistent through all these bottlings is the preservation of fruit character and an extreme obsession with quality.
