Established in 1978, Pine Ridge Vineyards produces classically proportioned, expressive wines that embody their history and distinct place of origin. Pine Ridge founder Gary Andrus, inspired by the illustrious wines of Bordeaux, believed in the Napa Valley’s potential to produce wines of similar stature. He planted the property’s original namesake vineyard on a steeply terraced hillside flanked by a dramatic ridgeline of pine trees in the Stags Leap District.
Gary’s pioneering efforts with this first vineyard were met with tremendous success as the Bordeaux varietals he planted thrived and produced wines of great distinction. In the following years, Pine Ridge continued to acquire exceptional vineyard sites across the region. Today, the Estate’s 200 acres span over five renowned Napa Valley appellations- Stags Leap District, Rutherford, Oakville, Carneros and Howell Mountain.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, bright fruit and floral aromas- think zesty citrus. On the palate, flavours of lemon curd, melon, sweet mango, and orange blossom with added balanced acidity. Use as an aperitif, pair with spicy foods, or your favourite seafood dish.
Method
Made from 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Viognier, the grapes were sourced from Clarksburg (Chenin Blanc) and Lodi (Viognier). After the grapes were crushed, the press wine was blended with the free run juice; the juice was inoculated with two special yeast strains and fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel.
