97-100 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Park Avenue is a brand new, single-vineyard label for Aubert. This site was purchased by Mark Aubert in 2013. It had previously been an apple orchard but has since been planted to mostly Hyde Clone Chardonnay with a little Montrachet clone. It is located on the Sonoma Coast, conveniently situated right in between Aubert's Lauren and CIX vineyards. The vineyard has a long road leading up to the property, hence the name "Park Avenue." Note that the previous two vintages from this vineyard were declassified into the AVA wine.A barrel sample, the 2019 Chardonnay Park Avenue leaps out of the glass with provocative notes of white peaches, fresh pears, lemon curd and chalk dust plus spicy hints of coriander seed, nutmeg and white pepper. The full-bodied palate is super intense with wonderful tension and lots of mineral accents to the concentrated flavors, finishing with epic length and long-lingering spicy kick. (Jan 2021)"

97 points James Suckling: "Aromas of ginger, rosemary, lemon curd and a lovely hint of olive oil. The full body balances the bright acidity and minerality, along with ground-spice and herb notes. Lovely creaminess to the texture with a pleasant tannin structure that keeps the wine refreshing. Spicy, too. Drink or hold. (12/5/21)"

95 points Wine Spectator: "Powerfully fresh, with hints of brioche to the rich white fruit and spice flavors that are packed with rich acidity. Creamy midpalate, with a long, mineral-filled finish that shows accents of sage and hints of anise. Best from 2022 through 2027. 1,144 cases made. (7/31/21)"

93-95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Park Avenue Estate is a new wine in the range. It emerges from a 12-acre parcel adjacent to Lauren planted with Wente clone Chardonnay on two rootstocks. It offers a compelling interplay of lemon confit and floral nuances. Naturally, the Park Avenue is not quite as complex or delineated as the other Chardonnays in the lineup, but that will come in time as the vines get older. (Jan 2021)"
