Aubert's 2024 Eastside Vineyard Chardonnay is built like a coiled spring. The house's only Russian River Valley AVA Chardonnay comes off a rocky hilltop site that answers the estate's coastal bottlings with structure and stone, and in 2024 that identity is dialed to its most focused setting. Mark Aubert has farmed this hill for years precisely because it refuses to make an easy, obvious wine, and patient drinkers are the beneficiaries.
The Eastside hill overlooks the broad sweep of the Russian River Valley, its shallow, rock-strewn soils ranking among the least generous ground Mark Aubert farms. A rare clonal selection was deliberately matched to this low-vigor slope, trading quantity for the concentration and cut that define the wine. In a warm, generous season like 2024, such stingy ground acts as a governor, preserving the nerve that stamps the bottling.
Wine Spectator awarded 95 points, describing a focused, linear wine, a line drive of concentrated citrus, mineral and stone fruit fleshing out to apricot, white peach, salted lemon bar and cardamom. Vinous rated it 94-96 from barrel, noting citrus confit, tangerine oil, crushed rocks and brisk acids pulling everything together with terrific energy. Wine Spectator extended its drinking window to 2040, a vote of confidence in the structure underneath.
Antonio Galloni cautioned that this tightly wound 2024 needs a few years to unwind, making it a natural cellar candidate among the vintage's releases. When opened young, decant well and pair with oysters, grilled swordfish or lemon-roasted chicken. Six to eight years of cellaring should reveal the honeyed depth hiding behind the stone today.
