2005 Aubert Reuling Pinot Noir Magnum - 95 Pts!

Our winemaking process is carefully guided by a winemaker with a farmer’s heart and artisan’s soul. The essence of making great wine is rooted in a relationship with the land – it’s about the soil, about growing, about nurturing, about farming. We look to nature for guidance and to science for insight, as we craft wine with minimal intervention so a sense of place is elegantly reflected in every bottle of Aubert wine. We believe the intellectual pursuit of winemaking has to be of the highest, most profound level of quality.

The essence of making great wine is rooted in a relationship with the land — it’s about the soil, about growing, about nurturing, about farming. Mark Aubert

95 RP - The 2005 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard reminds me of a top DRC Richebourg. Of course, this is made from the famed Calera clone of Pinot Noir, which was suitcased in from one of the most renowned vineyards in Burgundy. The wine exhibits that beautiful sweet black currant, flowery nose, with sweet black raspberry and very ripe cherry notes intermixed with spring flowers and some spice from the wood. A wine of considerable opulence, complexity, and tremendously savory, expansive texture, this wine should drink beautifully for at least a decade.

Wine Spectator	93 WS - Fresh and vibrant, with a mix of spice, cola, dried berry, sage and savory dark berry flavors that are intense, focused, complex and lively, ending with a long, lingering finish that's deep and rich.
