Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93 points

The 2009 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard once again shows the richness and heft of the clay-rich soils in this site. This is an especially dense Pinot, even by Aubert?s standards, that needs another year or so in bottle to start shedding some of its baby fat. Despite the wine?s richness, there is more than enough underlying minerality to give the wine a sense of proportion and harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019.
