2004 Aubert Chardonnay Quarry Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County (10/9/2006) throwing tons of sediment. the whole side-down side of the bottle was caked with deposits. a fair amount got in the glass with no noticable effect on the taste whatsoever. clear yellow, ... Citrusy with some acid zing and creamy richness. after a 4 hours smelled like a lemon drop but had caramel and zing to the lemon flavor. Very nice (93 pts.)

2004 Aubert Chardonnay Quarry Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County (4/9/2007) Slightly cloudy with a greenish tint. A good to potentially great chardonnay. Unfortunately you wouldn't want to be operating any heavy machinery after drinking this wine. It had amazingly concentrated flavors but way too much alcohol. The interesting part is that the wine is balanced and we drank a bit before the alcohol presented itself. It was a beautiful chard with very fine minerality and acidity. (93 pts.)

Agree with both notes above. Prevalent acidity, alcohol, citrus. After an hour, more viscous body and sweet tropical fruit. I would recommend decanting for a bit versus pop and pour.
