THE STORY

About this wine

Rich, expansive, full-bodied Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from Aubert's CIX Estate Vineyard—orchard fruit, peach, and apple turnover opening into almond, lemon balm, orange oil, and wildflower honey, a broad, powerful palate of ripe apple and lemon over fresh acidity, and a sweet, earthy mineral finish.

Aubert’s CIX is its second estate vineyard, named for parcel 109 on the original vineyard map. The site shares a fence line with Lauren Estate but has distinctive, very white, sea-salt-like Goldridge soil; it is planted primarily to Chardonnay with a small amount of Pinot Noir. The 2024 wine was made with minimal intervention and is slightly hazy.

Worth knowing

The slight haze in the glass is minimal intervention showing itself. The 2024 fruit came off a cool, late-ripening site, from vines planted in 2008.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Aubert CIX Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Tasting

Color: Bright yellow in the glass, with the slight haze of minimal-intervention winemaking.
Nose: Stately and expansive right out of the glass—orchard fruit, peach, and apple turnover out front, almond, lemon balm, orange oil, and wildflower honey underneath. With air, lemon tart, lime blossom, wet slate, and peaches and cream come up.
Palate: Broad, full-bodied, and concentrated—power on a crisp backbone. Ripe apple and lemon carry floral and pastry tones across a satiny texture, the fruit layered and intensely mineral-driven, building to a long finish of sweet, earthy minerality.
