Located in Sonoma County, the Ritchie Vineyard is renowned for producing exceptional Chardonnay. Benefiting from the region’s cool climate and diverse soils, this site is considered one of California’s “Grand Crus”. These unique terroir characteristics impart complexity and remarkable ageing potential to the wine.
This vintage showcases the characteristic influence of the old Wente clone. Aromas of citrus, pear, and subtle mineral notes are present, with a backdrop of restrained oak. The wine displays a structured palate with a tension that invites further contemplation. Aubert`s commitment to quality reflects in the careful selection of fruit from the Ritchie Vineyard.

Sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
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.
