“Rich with orange blossom, creme Brule, honey and marmalade, this golden nectar is so very, very seductive! 2018 TOR Noble Rot is the most exotic (+ opulent) ‘California-meets-Sauternes’ we’ve judged in a decade! The luxurious texture coats your palate like a cashmere sweater and the cornucopia of magical flavors include gingersnap cookies, apricot jam, grilled pineapple, and fresh coconut cream pie. The delectable finish impresses with prodigious notes of vanilla cream, ginger tea, and macadamia nuts.” - California Wine Advisors (12/2022)
Winemaker’s Notes
“The extended growing season in 2018 allowed us to curate a wine that has only been entertained a handful of times over the last two decades. This vintage of Noble ROT creates a paradigm between the beloved region of Sauternes and the valley we call home. Generous notes of dried apricot, tangerine, and orange blossom are complimented by heavy honey and candied ginger. The palate is plentiful yet balanced, with layers of creme bn1lee, stone fruit, lemon verbena and a silky texture. The finish creates dichotomy between sweetness and freshness, that ultimately leaves you wanting more.”
