2023 Viognier

The 2023 Viognier finds the perfect balance between a generously expressive nose, a juicy acidity and round fullness through the midpalate. The opulent aromas of star jasmine and apricot are highlighted by an alluring undercurrent of grapefruit blossom. Just as its mouthwatering acidity relents, a suppleness rushes to the forefront, providing a beautiful backdrop to the intriguing dance of all the delightful viognier qualities that we painstakingly coaxed into bottle. Our newest Wind Whistle viognier block from the north-facing Napa side of the property is already making a beautiful contribution here.

    Bold aromas of apricots, lanolin, beeswax and lemon confit The palate has a creamy texture and bright acidity, giving notes of orange blossoms, poached pears, peaches, baking spice and Turkish delight. Such a wonderful example of a viognier that has a great balance between power and finesse. Excellent. Drink or hold.

    This is one of my favourite white wines from Pride. Beeswax, honeysuckle, almonds, lemon verbena, and white rose soar from the glass, and I can’t get over the aromatic elegance and complexity. It all carries through on the medium-bodied palate, infused with a saline acidity that makes it irresistibly inviting. And to boot, it’s positively silky. The length is astonishing—so long and delicious you almost can’t believe it. The florality carries straight through the extended finish. Such a dynamic and delicious white. Sourced from 57% Sonoma County and 43% Napa County.

    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.

    Ripe stone fruits, apricots, orange, and honeyed flower notes define the 2023 Viognier, a pure, nicely textured, juicy Viognier that has integrated acidity and a great finish. It's well done and will be versatile on the dinner table. Drink 2025-2027.
