Light, fruity with a hint of tomato. Super super drinkable. One of my favorite every day wines. — 7 months ago
so delish - floral and fruity, and paired well with a variety of cheeses. giving honeysuckle — 2 years ago
It’s like Midori went to grad school, traveled to Paris, staged at a small Michelin 1, learned the art of subtlety, the beauty of nuance, and come to appreciate the beauty of a long silence — 3 months ago
Union Sacré “Noble” 2022
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A vigorous and wildly expressive skin-contact white blend crafted in Paso Robles’ Tin City. Composition: 34% Pinot Gris, 34% Pinot Blanc, 32% Riesling. Union Sacré is known for its Franco-Californian artisanal edge, and Noble embodies that spirit—a hazy, unfiltered, dry wine that leans into the modern “orange wine” style while keeping it approachable and refreshing.
Aromas & Flavors
Bursts with peach, tangerine peel, grapefruit zest, and white flowers. The Riesling brings tension and aromatic lift, Pinot Gris provides stone fruit depth, while Pinot Blanc adds texture and backbone.
Mouthfeel
Fresh, bright, and layered with a lingering but pleasant finish. The skin contact gives a subtle tannic grip, while fermentation in concrete vats enhances minerality and freshness.
Winemaking Notes
Hand-sorted grapes undergo 14 days of skin maceration in concrete vats, then the wine is aged 5 months before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered, naturally hazy—a hallmark of its artisanal character.
Food Pairing
Pairs effortlessly with grilled shrimp, saffron rice, Mediterranean mezze, or summer salads. Also a perfect “patio pounder” when served chilled.
Verdict
Union Sacré Noble is a playful yet serious orange-styled wine, combining freshness with rustic authenticity. A conversation starter and a crowd-pleaser—exactly what Tin City Paso Robles is all about. Cheers! 🍊✨

Great skin contact wine, closer to white. Slight bit of sweetness but not a too much. Very refreshing — 2 years ago
Amazing price point and a go-to aperitif wine in my household. Nose has wet gravel, chamomile, lemon, maybe a slight whiff of coriander. Mouthfeel is creamy with ripe lemon, white peach & lime zest, then that mouth-watering acidity kicks in and it’s just easy-drinking loveliness. 😘🤌🏻 — 3 years ago

Medium ruby color. Aromas of plum, black cherry, leather and dried herbs. Fig, cherry and blackberry on the palate. Interesting SLH Pinot.
