Score 96/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 2003

This is an absolutely amazing wine, and must be tasted to be believed. The 2000 The Noble Man botrytis wine is 12.2% alcohol, 22.7% residual sugar, and 100% Viognier from the Alban Vineyard. It was harvested at 42o brix. Sadly, this wine can only be purchased via the winery’s mailing list. Tel. (805) 649-8901
