Vintage: | 2021 |

Description: | Antonio Galloni 95-97 Points - "This is a tremendous set of 2021s from Mark Aubert. The Chardonnays, which I tasted from tank prior to bottling, are marvelously precise and nuanced. Every wine is so well-defined. The Pinots might be even more impressive, though, recent changes in farming and winemaking, plus probably some vintage effect, yielded rich and vibrant wines but less heavy and oak-driven than in the past.". "The 2021 Chardonnay Park Avenue all Hyde clone, is more Hyde than the Hyde, so to speak! It possesses tremendous textural richness and breadth, with plenty of the orange peel, spice and tropical notes that are signatures of this clone. Readers who like opulent Chardonnays will adore the Park Avenue. It's an exquisite wine in every way. ". Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94-96 Points - "The newest addition to the Aubert lineup, Park Avenue (a former apple orchard) was planted in 2016 to Hyde Old Wente and Montrachet selections. Like all of the Chardonnays, there's a hefty dose of new French oak used in the 2021 Chardonnay Park Avenue, and there does seem to a bit more cedar on the nose here than in the other bottlings. Still, there are attractive, intense notes of lime blossom, white peach, and citrus zest. Full-bodied, rich and round, it's bright, zesty and long on the finish. It should be reasonably available, with 1,900 cases produced." |
