Pine Ridge Vineyards - Chenin Blanc / Viognier

This is a 2021 white wine blend from Pine Ridge Vineyards. It consists of 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Viognier. Sourced from Napa Valley, California, specifically with most Chenin Blanc coming from Clarksburg. Since 1995, Pine Ridge Vineyards in the heart of the Stag's Leap district of Napa Valley has been crafting this unique blend, an unusual choice for a Cabernet - focused producer. The wine offers classic juicy flavors like golden pear and ripe green apple, along with a charming minerality that gives it a strong sense of place. It pairs perfectly with a soft, creamy brie or your preferred aged gouda.

To enjoy this Pine Ridge Vineyards Chenin Blanc and Viognier blend, first, chill the wine to around 45 - 50°F (7 - 10°C). Pour it into a white - wine glass and take a moment to appreciate its aroma. Sip slowly to savor the juicy pear and apple notes, and the lovely minerality. When it comes to pairing, as mentioned, soft creamy brie or aged gouda are great options, but you can also try it with light seafood or fresh salads. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. If you have an open bottle, seal it tightly and refrigerate. It should stay good for a couple of days, but the flavor might change slightly over time.
