2021 Aubert Wines 'CIX' Chardonnay Sonoma Coast

(97 Points)  --  (Wine Advocate)

The 2021 Chardonnay CIX Estate is a more classic example than the 2022 version, but there's a strong familial resemblance. Crushed stone and hints of almond-hazelnut skin appear on the nose, alongside fruitier notes of pineapple and white peach. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, generous and rounded, then finishes fresh and vibrant, with a huge whack of energizing lime zest on the finish. (JC)   Review Date: 07/2024
