BACKGROUND

Noble Tree was originally founded as a passion project by two sommeliers/restaurateurs to produce wines for their fellow industry friends. Production began as a true “garagistes-négociant” style winery, focusing on healthy vineyard sources, hand-harvesting and honest winemaking practices. In 2019, Marc D. Taub of Taub Family Vineyards became proprietor of Noble Tree, upholding the mission and essence of the winemaking philosophy: to respect the varietal character and reflect the vineyard site and vintage conditions in each wine.

TERROIR

The Vineyard is located in the Chalk Hill – Russian River Valley AVA, in the town of Windsor. Planted in the mid-1970s, the Vineyard is sited in a North-South orientation and is home to 17 acres of old-vine Noble Tree Chardonnay and five acres of old-vine Noble Tree Zinfandel. The vineyard is a classic valley floor site with alluvial soils exhibiting the dry, silty, loamy sand and gravel characteristics of an ancient riverbed and provides a perfect site to produce grapes for high-quality wines with varietal distinction.

WINEMAKING & VINTAGE NOTES

This Chardonnay Reserve is a compelling expression Russian River Valley Chardonnay at its finest. Each Noble Tree wine offers a unique expression of our focus on the art of fine wine making. Produced from old vines grown on our Noble Ranch in the Russian River Valley, this Reserve Chardonnay was handmade using traditional winemaking techniques and restrained use of French oak.

TASTING NOTES

Yellow and green candied apple with well-integrated toasted vanilla on the palate from the oak aging. Richness up front with a vibrant and long finish.
