Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2023 UV-SL Chardonnay is vibrant and inviting, perfectly encapsulating the dual longevity and instant appeal of this special vintage. The wine unfolds in a complex blend of fleshy apricot and mixed peel, warm layers of white pepper and sarsaparilla, honeyed florals, and sun-soaked slate. The palate is racy and energetic yet possesses undeniable complexity and generosity that promise longevity for the coming 10 to 15 years. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

"The 2023 Chardonnay UV-SL Vineyard is delicate and sensual in the glass. White flowers, tangerine oil, mint, lemon confit and light tropical accents take shape. Rich yet light on its feet, the 2023 UV-SL is sublime. Lifted floral overtones grace the sensual finish. This is all refinement." Vinous 95-97
