Light to medium straw color, some spritz showing; fresh honey dew aroma, smells like springtime, fine depth of fruit, charming, some flowery notes; light to medium bodied, perky and tingly on the palate; off dry to medium sweet, nice acidity, good balance; ripe honey dew, peaches and floral accents in the flavors, excellent depth; lingering finish, an explosion of fruit in the aftertaste. As usual, this is a very delightful white wine, fun yet serious enough for serious food matching.

Founded in 1978, Pine Ridge Vineyards sits in the heart of the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, tucked beneath of ridge of pines that speak to the dramatic geologic origins of our home and unique soils. For over 40 years the winery has become a pioneer farming and vinifying Bordeaux grapes with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Pine Ridge Vineyards farms a collection of 160 acres of Napa Green sustainably certified estate vineyards across Oakville, Rutherford, Howell Mountain and Carneros, including 47 acres in the Stags Leap District.
The winery’s Chenin Blanc + Viognier bottling started out as an experimental blend over twenty-five years ago and is now one of the most beloved and highly acclaimed white wines available. Original and unique, this fresh white wine blend is crafted to be fresh, fruity and easy to pair and enjoy. The wine has also inspired a Pine Ridge Sparkling wine also made with Chenin Blanc and a splash of Viognier.
