JoieFarm A Noble Blend 2010
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest NB has added more riesling to the blend and it has more class. At 38 percent the riesling brings lightness and finesse with better acidity which is always a good thing. There is still 43 percent gewürztraminer here with a bit of pinot auxerrois and pinot gris. A slightly cooler demeanour enhances its delicate mouthfeel. Expect a fresh spicy, perfumed white with mineral, litchi, orange flavours that are fresh and juicy fruit on the palate. A patio star that can easily handle a variety of appetizers.Tasted: 21 May 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
