2023 Powder House Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Powder House is the culmination of Mark Aubert’s 30+ years producing Chardonnay. Planted with one of our rarest Chardonnay clones, Powder House highlights the distinct, powdery Goldridge soils on this hilly site.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2023 Powder House is sublime and electric, with exotic aromas of kaffir lime, galangal, honey orchid oolong, and peach erupting from the glass. Saline, crushed shell and iodine tones echo the ancient seabed soils of this site. Flavors of lime custard and nectarine add volume and richness. The palate possesses a rare degree of textural focus, balancing mouthcoating density with mineral purity and freshness, culminating in an incredibly long and elegant finish that will carry for 10 to 15 years in the cellar with ease. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
