Pine Ridge Vineyards Chenin Blanc Viognier 2019

Pine Ridge Winery was purpose built in Stags Leap with the goal of crafting super premium California wines and the success they have enjoyed is a testament to that vision. Their Chenin Blanc and Viognier blend has become a modern day classic delivering the most wonderfully fresh and zesty fruit accented by a delicate kiss of sweetness. Everyone loves this wine. The nose bursts. The palate pops. The finish flys. It is the sort of wine that you never have enough of because the bottles go dry before you know it. Freshly zested pink grapefruit mingles with magnolia blossoms and passion fruit puree to create a lovely nose that lures you in for a sip. The palate has a kiss of sweetness but only a kiss and, believe me, you want that touch of sugar on the finish because otherwise this White would be hurtfully crisp. Instead, drinking it is an experience similar to biting into a perfectly fresh piece of fruit picked at the peak of ripeness. It bursts with flavor offering buoyant layers of honeydew melon, Meyer lemon, kiwi, and pineapple. The finish is completely zippy and alive. Every sip encourages you to have another, building a real sense of momentum with each passing swirl and sniff and sip. The 2019 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier is a perfect aperitif but it’s so versatile as a food pairing White that you are sure to find innumerable uses for it from spinach and mushroom quiche at brunch right on through your favoriteThai takeout for dinner.
Food Pairing:
The 2019 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier is a seriously versatile White wine. Every facet of it’s personality was crafted to create a sensation of levity and freshness. It is the sort of wine that sits humbly beneath your food making it taste better than it could on its own. It is magnificent with brunch whether it’s simple bacon and eggs or a fancy homemade quiche. As good as it is with brunch, it’s even better with dinner. Try it with a frisee salad tossed with a light raspberry vinaigrette and a perfect portion of poached salmon. Or go all the way and order Chinese takeout because there simply is no better wine to pair with some freaking Kung Pao Chicken than Pine Ridge!
