The 2008 The Noble Mud Pie is an unusual blend for a sweet wine of 86% Viognier, 8% Pinot Gris, and 6% Marsanne. It has significant botrytis, greater sweetness than the Riesling but without the focus of that grape. On the palate it has some vibrancy from lively acidity and good length. It, too, is an outstanding value in dessert wine.The d’Arenberg portfolio is loaded with values. The winery works with over 140 growers to fashion their superb blends. For the 2008 vintage, the entry-level The Stump Jump series has been expanded.Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com
