December 6th – Paso Robles, California ONX Wines has scored big with Wine Enthusiast and earned a much coveted top 100 spot! Their 2019 Noble Intrigue was added to this year’s Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2022.
Each year Wine Enthusiast Magazine chooses the most age-worthy and collectable wines to grace their top 100 list. “To be considered for this honor, the wines must have been among the top-rated of those identified already as ageable Cellar Selections by our team of reviewers during the blind tastings they conducted throughout the past 12 months.” Wine Enthusiast
The 2019 Noble Intrigue is a Syrah with fruit sourced from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard located in the Santa Maria Valley. The fruit was picked the last week of October and allowed to hang on the vine late in the season and develop rich flavors. The wine has vivid expressions of fruit and a general openness which usually takes years of cellaring before seeing. Winemaker, Drew Nenow “To have a wine recognized to be one of the best in the world is nothing short of remarkable.”
As the winter months set in, the deep and rich flavors of Noble Intrigue spark a renewed interest in food and wine duets. ONX has partnered with Chef Rachel Ponce to style tempting pairings to entice the palate. For the 19 Noble Intrigue, she has created a Halibut Vierge recipe that is the perfect accompaniment to the wine’s approachability.
