2023 CIX Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The CIX Vineyard Chardonnay embodies everything we seek 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 Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2023 CIX is a beguilingly complex expression of site. Densely packed with aromas of apricot, persimmon, honey, and opal apple, the wine also conveys an underlying terroir of cool white ash, reminiscent of fresh rainfall among the vines. The palate is rich and enveloping, with flavors of apple galette and alpine herbs, finishing with undeniable gras and balance. 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.
