2023 Eastside Vineyard Russian River Chardonnay

Our passion for Eastside begins with its rocky slopes and cobbled soil, and is rewarded with the small, concentrated clusters that these vines struggle to produce each year.  The distinctive site-specific undertones and complex fruit-driven overtones of this wine exemplify an Aubert Chardonnay.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2023 Eastside is densely packed, intensely floral, and coiled. The characteristic minerality of the vineyard is focused and amplified in this vintage, gradually emerging in the glass with compounding saline and gravelly nuances. Ripe cling peach, Damask rose, and green apple add richness. The textural complexity, natural phenolic structure, and mineral core promise a long and graceful life in the cellar for 10 to 15 years or more. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
