Winemaker Notes
The 2014 CIX Estate Chardonnay conveys the quintessential hybrid of Sonoma Coast and Grand Cru White Burgundy. CIX’s ethereal blend of subtleties and power are tightly wound into one. Please note the greenish hue on the edge of the glass, which is indicative of the health of the wine. Subtle aromatics of powdered citrus and jasmine are complimented by youthful minerality. The evolution of the wine begins to display more expressive notes of baked pear, straw and fresh herbs. The palate reveals more tension with vin-de-garde acidity. The 2014 CIX is built to age with its combination of power, tension and structure, and will cellar for the next 10 to 15 years. The wine has a slight hazy clarity showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Lastly, the virtually perfect 2014 Chardonnay Cix Estate, planted with a Montrachet clone on Goldridge soils, again exhibits amazing intensity, notes of wet gravel interwoven with apple blossom, caramelized citrus, apricot, white peach and honeysuckle. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and a profound glass of Chardonnay.

Mark Aubert’s Sonoma Coast vineyard-designate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs have risen in popularity at a dizzying speed. Aubert’s career in winemaking began in 1989 at Peter Michael under the tutelage of Helen Turley, which led to his time at Colgin, Sloan, Futo and then Bryant Family, before founding Aubert Wines with his wife Teresa in 1999. His wines express the essence of singular terroirs with an effortless grace. Mark crafts the wines of Aubert to speak to a variety of wine lovers with one thing in common – selective palates that expect nothing but the best.
