2007 Aubert "Ritchie Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

This is a wine which needed to benefit from some cellar time. On release it was quite disjointed. Nothing from chilling it to ice nor letting it warm to room temperature could really get it together. I tasted this the most recent time on JAn 14, 2014 and it was exactly what you would expect from something with very high standards. Butterscotch, Toasted biscotti, hazelnuts, and sweet cream. The texture of this wine just sat on your palate for minutes. This is truly an example of something which merits the price and respect. Wonderful wine.
