In Your Face.
2007 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc Viognier. Yes you heard it right, a 2007. It basically spent a little over 2 months in the bottle or steel fermentation tanks and into your hands. Outrageous. Or outrageously delicious. Priced at a cool $11.00, this smacks you in the face with crazy citrus and floral arrangements. Think of those Japanese 'My Shaldan' car fresheners. Anyways, nicely chilled but not too chilled and it will taste the way it smelled. Lots of citrus mainly grapefruit, I would say it tasted a lot like those New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs but without the scent or taste of grass and possibly feline urine. I don't know what a chenin blanc or a viognier is but it is not a chardonnay. No butter whatsoever, there is some acidity leaving you with a real crisp and refreshing aftertaste, although overtly fruity it won't leave you in a diabetic coma (i.e. not that sweet or sugary). This will definitely be in heavy rotation throughout the warmer months this year.
