Winemaker Notes
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.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pinot Noir Cix Estate was made from suitcase clones from Vosne-Romanee. It exhibits abundant notes of forest floor, blackberries, blueberries and spicy oak along with dry tannins in the finish. The wine is multi-dimensional and rich, but the tannins are not yet fully resolved which kept my score low. It should drink well for 8-12 years. Range: 89-91
