Aubert Eastside Vineyard Russian River Chardonnay 2016, presented in a 1.5L magnum, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from the esteemed Eastside Vineyard in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley. The bouquet offers a vibrant array of green apple, lemon curd, and white peach, interwoven with brioche, vanilla, and a subtle minerality from the region’s clay-rich soils. The palate is full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a creamy texture, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of toasted almond. Aged for 10 months in 100% new French oak, it delivers a refined, lingering finish with exceptional aging potential, ideal for long-term cellaring. Perfect for pairing with lobster, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Aubert’s meticulous craftsmanship and single-vineyard focus. The 2016 vintage, celebrated for its balance and intensity, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, making this magnum a collector’s treasure. Its opulent flavor profile and structured finesse capture the essence of Russian River Valley’s cool-climate terroir.
