Noble Ridge The One Sparkling 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2014 grabbed our attention and the 2015 is similarly solid. The Okanagan Falls bubble is a 70/30 mix of chardonnay and pinot noir that opens with a whiff of lees and smoke before a salty, citrus, green apple, stony profile takes over. The acid is showy and the fizz well managed. It lacks that creamy palate finish but I’m sure with age and/or a few more vintages this will come. It’s all pressed whole cluster and aged 28 months on the lees, and at only 2.0 g/l RS, significantly drier than the 2014. This could use two more years in the bottle to really settle into its final form.Tasted: 03 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $47.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
