Pine Ridge is one of the most respected wineries in California and year in and out their “humble” blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier is a delight... for as long as it stays in stock! The Chenin Blanc is the core of this blend, sourced from Clarksburg. The grapes were harvested at low sugar levels to ensure a bright fruit character. In contrast, the Viognier from Lodi is ripe and fragrant. Full-bodied, semi-creamy mouth texture with a clean finish. We love the fruitiness – pineapple, peach, honeyed pear, and sweet mango with subtle grapefruit accents. You don’t often find this level of classiness at this price and Pine Ridge only makes a small amount each year. James Suckling rated this vintage 92 points.
"The 2011 bottling of this distinctive blend opens with a dazzling spectrum of fruit and floral aromas, from crisp white peach, honeyed pear and sweet mango, to touches of fresh jasmine blossom and white chai tea. Filled with bright and juicy fruits, the palate flaunts flavors of succulent white nectarine, candied pineapple, green fig and subtle grapefruit. The crisp and slightly off-dry flavor profile lasts well through the clean and refreshing finish."
This light-bodied wine has aromas like dried herbs and fresh celery that join vivid citrus flavors for a fresh and lively character that makes the mouth water. The mouthfeels gains breadth with each sip and the finish seems lightly sweet.
