2022 CIX Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Our first ever Estate Pinot Noir, the CIX is Grand Cru Aubert. This Pinot is our most reminiscent of red Burgundy. This cooler site in Forestville creates an ethereal, delicate, and elegant wine.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2022 CIX Pinot Noir is sanguine and cerebral, unfurling with aromas of fresh blackberries, boysenberry, and violet above a backdrop of incense and oolong tea. On the palate, brambly fruits intermingle with mint and cedar in a complex balance of sweet and savory tones. The wine is rich and mouth-coating while possessing a chiseled, balanced framework. Such structural completeness is only achievable with old vines on this special, volcanic terroir. The rare degree of focus in aroma, flavor, and texture are a surefire promise of graceful cellaring for years to come.
