Reserve

2009 Santa Barbara County Viognier

The Bridlewood Estate Winery Reserve Viognier from the 2009 vintage is a delightful expression hailing from the picturesque Santa Barbara County. This wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its creamy texture, offering a luxurious mouthfeel. The bright acidity delivers a refreshing lift, enhancing the overall vibrancy of the wine. With prominent fruit intensity, one cannot help but savor the enchanting notes of ripe stone fruits, particularly apricot and peach, woven together with subtle floral undertones. The wine's dryness complements its lively profile, making it a versatile choice for a range of culinary pairings, from seafood to roasted poultry. This exceptional Viognier is a splendid representation of the region's winemaking prowess and serves as a delightful reminder of the beauty of Californian whites.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
