Estate Viognier

2011 Sonoma Coast Viognier

The Cline Estate Viognier from the 2011 vintage is a delightful expression of this aromatic varietal, hailing from the scenic Sonoma Coast. This white wine showcases a brilliantly luminous golden hue, inviting you to explore its complex bouquet. On the nose, it offers tantalizing notes of ripe peach, honeysuckle, and subtle hints of tropical fruit, which seamlessly translate to a flavor profile that is both refreshing and engaging. With a medium body and refreshing acidity, this Viognier strikes a perfect balance between richness and vibrancy, making it a superb choice for warm days or as a complement to light dishes. The finish is dry, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit and delicate floral notes that beckon another sip. This exceptional wine exemplifies the beauty of the region and the craftsmanship of its winemakers.

Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.
