Winemaker Notes
The 2015 CIX Estate Chardonnay conveys Aubert's ideal marriage 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. Initially, pure aromatics of white jasmine flowers, wet stones and a strong sense of place are found. With time in the glass, the wine evolves to showcase more nectarines and citrus, but the mineral tones continue to be the driving feature of this wine. The palate is pure and polished with vin-de-garde acidity. This is Chardonnay in ludicrous mode. The 2015 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 is slightly hazy showing Aubert's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chardonnay Cix Estate is 100% Montrachet clone and shows notes of liquified stones, quince, honeysuckle, caramelized citrus, and hints of tropical fruits such as pineapple and nectarine. This is a beauty of great intensity, richness and length – another remarkable Chardonnay from Aubert.
Range: 98-100 -
Wine Spectator
This is a classy effort that emphasizes Chardonnay’s elegance and finesse. Begins with seductive aromas of honeydew melon and spicy, creamy oak, followed by tiers of fig, apricot and pear. Ends with a seamless aftertaste that turns graceful and refined.

James Suckling
Lots of blueberry and blackberry aromas with hints of dried flowers. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish. Bright fruit aftertaste. Spice. Smoky.

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.
