Another terrific year for this bottling, the 2020 Chardonnay CIX Estate—from Montrachet-selection budwood on vines planted in 2008, and matured in 75% new French oak—is lightly toasty, then tropical, with yellow peach, possibly even mango notes, balanced by bright, lime-like acids. It's full-bodied, creamy and rich, yet not heavy at all, with great energy and lift on the finish. (JC)

joined by details of salted butterscotch, dried fennel, star anise, mineral and honeycomb. Packs plenty of juiciness on the long, expressive finish that just goes on and on. *Highly Recommended* (MW)

A tight and fresh white with sliced pear and apple. Light cream and cooked apple. Medium body. Crisp acidity and a subtle finish.

The 2020 Chardonnay CIX Estate is creamy, supple and expressive out of the gate. Orchard fruit, white pepper, mint and crushed rocks all run through the CIX. There's good depth and creaminess through to the finish, which does attenuate a bit. Then again, this is 2020. (AG)

Notes

CIX is one of Mark Aubert's estate Sonoma Coast vineyard sources near Freestone, part of the winery's small-lot Chardonnay program. Aubert is known for native-yeast, barrel-fermented Chardonnay from cool coastal sites, with bottlings kept separate by vineyard to preserve site identity.
