2022 Viognier, Pride Mountain Vineyards

2022 Viognier

Classic viognier aromas of lychee, orange blossom, apricot, orange zest and striking minerality captivate the senses. The wine's attack has tell-tale viognier viscosity that quickly transitions to uplifting, acid-driven verve. The retro-nasal flavors are dominated by stone fruit and white blossoms with the minerally "rain-on-warm- pavement" nuance adding intrigue. The 2022 Viognier is quintessentially viognier from start to finish, making it a fantastic wine to share with friends and family who don't yet know the pleasures of viognier.

Antonio Galloni Vinous: The 2021 Napa Valley Cabernets, Part One (Dec 2023) - Rating: 93

The 2022 Viognier is gorgeous in the way it captures the varietal character, freshness and energy. Apricot, ginger, jasmine, spice and mint abound. At a time when so many California Viogniers have become excessively lean and non-varietal, the Pride Viognier is exactly what Viognier is supposed to be.

All barrel fermented in used oak and without any malolactic fermentation, the 2022 Viognier is a blend of fruit from Napa County (71%) and Sonoma County (29%). It's nicely fruity and complex on the nose, with gentle florals and dried spices accenting melon and apricot fruit, then it's medium to full-bodied, creamy and lush in the mouth, with a broad but lingering finish.
