AUBERT Larry Hyde Sons Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay

WS:98

Complex, aromatic and remarkable, with tension between the richness and elegance. Sleek acidity provides great energy to the flavors of lemon meringue, grilled pineapple, fleshy white peach and apple butter, plus a touch of crème caramel. A salted toffee note ramps up on the long finish, while aromatics of litsea oil and bitter orange linger. Drink now through 2043. 880 cases made.  –MW
