Noble Tree The Art of Crafting Noble Tree Wines
Founded in 2008, Noble Tree is a true “garagistes-négociant” style winery with a focus on healthy vineyard sources, hand-harvesting, and honest winemaking practices. The Taub family took stewardship of the winery in 2019 from Thomas George Estates, extending their family commitment to the wines of Sonoma County. Noble Tree grew into a sommelier by-the-glass favorite and was named “Value Brand of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast in 2017.

Terroir
The Sonoma County AVA encompasses incredibly diverse microclimates, marked by warm days and cool nights created by mountain inversion layers and coastal winds, which balance the growing season. Noble Tree looks to capture varietal character while reflecting the individual vineyard’s terroir.
The Wickersham Ranch Vineyard is located in northwest Sonoma County in Healdsburg, CA. At an elevation of 2,200 feet, the vineyard is planted on a western-facing slope, offering the ideal microclimate to cultivate Bordeaux varieties with mountain fruit characteristics, while lending warmth to physiological growth to avoid underripe flavors.
The Chalk Hill — Russian River Valley AVA vineyard is located within the heart of Sonoma County near the town of Windsor, CA. The vineyard has a north-to-south orientation and is home to over 17 acres of old-vine chardonnay (planted in 1976) and five acres of old-vine zinfandel (planted in 1885).
Viticulture
Winemaking philosophy at Noble Tree respects varietal character and each wine reflects the specific vineyard site and vintage conditions. Grapes are always hand-harvested and cluster-sorted. The winemaking team crafts each wine holistically, finding the best balance for each vintage.
