Five Stones Vineyards – Nobility 215a White Blend 2024
Judean Hills – Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
A tribute wine named after Sergeant Maj. Yitzhak Tamir, Nobility 215a is composed of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, aged in French oak. The 2024 vintage shows a fresher, more youthful expression compared to the richer 2021, with vibrant fruit and a refined oak touch.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh orchard fruit leads: pear, green apple, and lemon zest, layered with melon and subtle tropical hints. Lighter toast and vanilla than the 2021, letting citrus, white flowers, and a gentle saline edge shine through.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, crisp, and polished. Oak brings a subtle creamy texture, but the 2024 leans brighter and more linear, with lively acidity carrying a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, lemon-roast chicken, or creamy seafood risotto. Also complements Mediterranean cheeses and lighter pasta dishes.

Verdict
The 2024 Nobility 215a is fresher, sleeker, and more fruit-driven than its 2021 predecessor, while still carrying the oak-aged elegance that defines the cuvée. A polished white blend that balances tribute, terroir, and modern winemaking. 🍷cheers!

Quilt pays tribute to Napa’s wines, sourced from a patchwork of prime Napa Valley vineyards. Met Joseph Wagner a few times & tasted his wines. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet spice and cedar. On palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with vanilla, oak and leather notes, well balanced. Fine soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, on long finish ending with cacao, oak and tobacco character. Consistent quality, has room to age. Nice! — 6 months ago
