The Aubert CIX Estate Pinot Noir 2022 from the Sonoma Coast is a single-vineyard expression of Pinot Noir from California`s Sonoma Coast. The fruit for this wine comes from the CIX Estate Vineyard, a relatively cool site that confers a distinct minerality on the wine. Planted in 2006 with a clonal mix that includes Calera and Vosne-Romanée selections, this full-bodied wine delivers complex waves of black cherry blackcurrant jelly and kirsch, layered with savoury accents of dark tobacco, roses, lavender and sous bois.
97 The Wine Independent
Deep ruby-purple in color, the 2022 CIX Estate Pinot Noir needs a swirl or two to coax out notes of kirsch, boysenberries, redcurrant jelly, and iris bulb, giving way to notions of red roses, sandalwood, clove oil, damp soil, and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is beautifully rich and opulent, with seamless freshness and velvety tannins, finishing long with loads of exotic spices hints. CIX stands for 109, as this vineyard was called “parcel 109” when Aubert bought it. The Pinot Noir was planted in 2006. A new 2-acre block has recently come into the blend planted to Calera, Swan and Vosne-Romanee clones. 600 cases are made.Lisa Perrotti-Brown24th September 2023

The 2022 Pinot Noir CIX Vineyard is fabulous. Dark, vibrant and vertical in feel, the 2022 offers a compelling mix of dark-toned fruit, menthol, cloves, licorice and incense. The CIX is dynamic and bursting with flavor. It is the most potent and virile wine in the range, and also the last to be picked. The clonal mix is Calera and Vosne-Romanée, with a touch of Swan.Antonio Galloni23rd May 2024

Sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

Aubert was founded by Mark and Theresa Aubert in 2000, located on the famous Silverado trail in Calistoga. Before he and his partner opened Aubert, Mark had gained experience at the Peter Michael Winery and Colgin Cellars and also made wine at a 'custom crush' facility in California. Aubert have some proprietary vineyards, around three and half acres in Sonoma, which they bottle under the 'UV' label. The remainder of the fruit is sourced from selected vineyards across Sonoma and Napa.

In the world of wine, Aubert is really a byword for world-class single vineyard or single block Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards they source from represent a mix of terroirs and include some old vines as well as some recent plantings. What remains consistent through all these bottlings is the preservation of fruit character and an extreme obsession with quality.
