Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc Viognier 2016

Crisp, bright, and vivacious, CB+V 2017 is an aromatic white blend boasting a bouquet of oroblanco blossoms, honeysuckle, citrus, tropical fruit, and fresh cut green herbs. The bright entry reveals lychee, key lime, white peach, grapefruit, and nectarine flavors. Lemon-lime and balanced acidity carry through the clean, gentle, lingering finish.

The chesse is clean flavored, not goaty, and it’s less tart than many similar cheeses, so it doesn’t make the wine seem sweeter.
