The Chenin Blanc + Viognier opens with kiwi, Meyer lemon, and fresh cut melon on the nose. The nose is accented by honeysuckle and lemon verbena creating a nice floral note throughout the aroma. Notes of peach ring, apricot, green apple, and mandarin add vibrant fruit complexity. The palate is zippy and refreshing, with a plush entry from the Viognier and a clean line of granite driven minerality. A hint of black pepper lifts the finish, which is harmonious, energetic, and endlessly drinkable.
80% Chenin Blanc, 20% Viognier
Pine Ridge Description
Grapes for our Chenin Blanc are sourced from the Clarksburg appellation, referred to as the “Gem of the Delta.” It is an appellation that is showing a great affinity for Chenin Blanc. The climate has a moderately long growing season and benefits from the maritime influence of the Sacramento River. The Viognier is sourced from Lodi, which has a classic Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights. Natural air-conditioning is provided by the San Joaquin/Sacramento River Delta breezes and produces grapes with natural acidity. Rhône varieties like Viognier adapt well to this exciting appellation.
James Suckling: 91 Points
A charming, floral, light-bodied white in a lightweight bottle. It bursts with green apple, white peach and lemon blossom flavors on a low-alcohol body. A trace of residual sugar softens the edges. All tank-fermented with no malolactic. Drink now.
