This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to receive an immediate spot on Aubert's Active Mailing list--no 2+ year wait for you! Mark Aubert is considered a master of California Chardonnay, and his Burgundian-style Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are known around the world -- this lot gives you both! Aubert has a well-deserved cult following, and their wines are normally allocated to the mailing list and a very few select restaurants. Here is your chance to add these precious wines to your collection.

Magnum of 2015 Lauren Estate Chardonnay: A quintessential Aubert Chardonnay -- rich, ripe and irresistible. In spite of the great acidity the wine remains lush and long, a sign of its timelessness. The wine is slightly hazy showing their commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. 97-100 points, Robert Parker.

Magnum of 2015 Sugar Shack Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay: A wine of immense proportion and a thrill to drink. Full of brazen character, it astonishingly never crosses the line. An inviting nose of honeyed citrus, candle wax, florals and a hint of bacon fat. Flavors focus on golden apple juice with baking spice and fennel adding complexity. A creamy texture frames the tasting experience, while the acid wash keeps this liquid confection lively and in check. 97-99 points, Robert Parker.

Magnum of 2015 UV-SL Vineyard Pinot Noir: The blue to purple tones in the color of this wine translate to the fruit character. Juicy crushed blackberry and plum are accented by violet, tamarind and pine forest aromas. The UV-SL is full-bodied and opulent on the palate with an prodigious concentration of fruit. The tannin profile is broad and sweet and in perfect proportion to the wine. The acidity adds a crystalline character to the fruit, as well as drive to a long pure finish. Suggested drinking window is 2018 to 2030. 93+ points, Robert Parker.
