Aubert - CIX Estate - Sonoma Coast - Single vineyard Chardonnay

Aubert's winemaking process is carefully guided by a winemaker with a farmer’s heart and artisan’s soul. The essence of making great wine is rooted in a relationship with the land – it’s about the soil, about growing, about nurturing, about farming.

They look to nature for guidance and to science for insight, as they craft wine with minimal intervention so a sense of place is elegantly reflected in every bottle of Aubert wine. They believe the intellectual pursuit of winemaking has to be of the highest, most profound level of quality."The essence of making great wine is rooted in a relationship with the land — it’s about the soil, about growing, about nurturing, about farming." - Mark Aubert

While many North American states make wine, California (along with Washington State and Oregon) drives the fine wine industry. In 2005 it accounted for 200,000 hectares of vinous vines. Napa Valley is acknowledged to be the world's second-best source of Cabernet Sauvignon/Bordeaux blends and Chardonnays, while Santa Barbara and Sonoma Counties are home to world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
