Noble Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir 2018

The Noble Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir 2018 is a deeply complex and bold expression of the Okanagan Falls sub-appellation. Sourced from 100% estate-grown fruit from the winery's Home Vineyard, this vintage was crafted from four distinct Pinot Noir clones (113, 114, 115, and 777) planted between 2001 and 2010. After a five-day cold soak and fermentation, the wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (20% new). The result is a fuller-style Pinot Noir with intense aromas of wild blue and black fruits, complemented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it reveals rich layers of earth, spice, and dark berries, leading to a long, lingering finish. While robust, its balanced acidity makes it a classic pairing for meaty fish like grilled salmon or savory dishes like lamb pie.
