Aubert Chardonnay "CIX ESTATE" Sonoma Coast 750mL
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Cix Vineyard Chardonnay embodies everything Aubert seeks in a Chardonnay distinctive aromatics, coupled with Goldridge soil that lends a varied richness and breadth. The aromatics reflect the soil influenced minerals with White Burgundian nuances. Mark Auberts Tasting Notes : "The 2022 Cix Chardonnay is opulent and generous, opening with waves of Honeycrisp apple, candied lemon peel, and tangerine cream. Jasmine and coriander add spicy, floral overtones. A subtle sweet-earthiness reminiscent of the vineyard after early spring showers underlies the exuberant fruit character. The wine is massively structured with a mouthcoating, oily texture that carries the finish for minutes. This wine will continue to develop and unfurl for 10 to 15 years to slowly reveal its true complexity. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.". Antonio Galloni 97 Points - "The 2022 Chardonnay Cix Estate is rich, ample and explosive. A classic Mark Aubert wine, the Cix is off the charts. Soaring aromatics and deep, layered fruit take hold of the senses and never let up. White orchard fruit, jasmine, lemon confit, white pepper and spice lend nuance to a Chardonnay built on textural resonance. The 2022 is arrestingly beautiful from the first taste. Montrachet clone here really sings.". Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 97 Points - "Always one of the last sites Aubert picks, the 2022 Chardonnay Cix Estate matured in close to 75% new French oak. Hints of crushed stone accent ripe, lush notes of white peaches and pineapple. This full-bodied, opulent wine seems a bit lower in acidity than usual, but it still finishes crisp and long, with a delicate hint of mocha on the finish." |
