2019 Aubert Pinot Noir UV Vineyard

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2019 UV Pinot Noir offers a detailed bouquet of warm blackberries, strawberry powder, and kirsch with wafts of orange tea and savory nuances. The wine moves across the palate with authority and ease, framed by notes pomegranate reduction and clay soils. Ripe, velvety tannins integrate seamlessly with a concentrated core of exquisite red fruit, leading to a long and succulent finish. Suggested drinking window is 2021 through 2034.

The UV site is right in the middle of Russian River, planted to Calera and Vosne-Romanée (suitcase) clones. The 2019 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard was aged in French oak, 60% new, and bottled at the beginning of July. Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the nose is wonderfully perfumed, featuring notes of red roses, underbrush, wild sage and menthol over a core of pomegranate, black raspberries and wild strawberries. The palate is softly textured and beautifully balanced with full-bodied, generous fruit and just enough freshness, finishing long with a red berry lift.

The 2019 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard is incredibly delicate and refined. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sage, dried rose petals and blood orange infuse the UV with notable brightness and energy to match its soft curves. In the glass, the UV is nuanced and so full of complexity. The 2019 UV Pinot is one of the most elegant Pinots I have tasted from Mark Aubert. I would cellar the 2019 for a few years as it has just been bottled.
