A terrific example of New World Viognier, Pride's 2023 Viognier is all barrel-fermented but with just 10% of the barrels in the mix being two years old and the rest older. Coming from both Napa and Sonoma sides of the property, the wine combines delicate floral and ripe apricot notes into a wonderfully perfumed bouquet. Medium- to full-bodied, it's plump and expansive in the mouth, nicely expressive and silky-textured, while avoiding any bitterness on the peppery-gingery finish.
The 2023 Viognier is another fabulous white from Pride. Rich, layered and super-expressive, the 2023 is superb. Pear, apricot, spice, ginger and tangerine oil build beautifully in the glass. The 2023 is dynamic and vivid, not to mention exceptionally delicious. The balance of textural richness, energy and varietal character is compelling.
