The 2013 CIX Estate Chardonnay brought a renewed sense of achievement, encompassing all of the subtleties of the greatest Grand Cru Chardonnays, yet grown in the Sonoma Coast appellation. The aromatics are delicate, and led by the soil influence; tones of green and bergamot tea, fresh cut straw and wet rocks are abundant. On the palate, one will find immense volume with intense richness. Subtle fruit aromas of green and red apple juice, lemon powder and peach blossom follow. The unique structure of our Chardonnay is focused with powerful length on the palate, and will allow this wine to age for 9+ years. The wine has a slight hazy clarity showing Aubert's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
