Aubert Description

Owner/winemaker Mark Aubert has had a distinguished winemaking career including positions at Peter Michael Winery and Colgin Cellars. He has also been a winemaking consultant for several prestigious wineries throughout Napa Valley. Aubert is revered for his outstanding vineyard-designate estate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, as well as for those sourced from various other vineyards throughout the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast, to which few others have access. Aubert credits his hands-off approach as the key to successful winemaking, stating "The purity you taste in my wines reflects the work I don't put into them."

Wine Spectator: 95 Points

Features a steely structure, with concentrated freshly cut apple, brioche and Asian pear flavors, supported by crunchy acidity. Pure and minerally midpalate, offering a long finish that echoes with subtle sea salt and chamomile accents. Best from 2022 through 2027. 1,085 cases made. — KM

Vinous: (94-97 Points

The 2018 Chardonnay CIX Vineyard is a seamless, gorgeous beauty. Orchard fruit, mint, white pepper and floral notes all run through this super-expressive, alluring Chardonnay from Mark Aubert. In the glass, the CIX is understated and nuanced rather than overt. I find it absolutely mesmerizing.

 

Wine Advocate: 97-99 Points

CIX stands for 109, because this was originally called “Parcel 109” when Aubert bought the vineyard. Planted in 2008 to Montrachet clone, the 2018 Chardonnay CIX Estate slips sensuously from the glass with beguiling scents of apple blossoms, honeysuckle and orange peel over a core of ripe Bosc pears, coriander seed, white pepper and shaved almonds plus a touch of talc. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it has seamless freshness and the most beautifully perfumed personality, finishing long and fragrant.
