Medium red in color, please note the clarity and health of this wine. First impressions offer a good interplay of blueberries and red raspberries. There are underlying CIX signatures of mineral tones, sea air, and wet leaves, which are distinctive and offer aromatic lift. Across the palate the wine is plush and rich with a beautiful stream-lined acidity. The 2012 CIX has such overwhelming purity; Suggested drinking window is now until 2027.
