Cline, Nancy’s Vines, North Coast, California, USA, 2019

90
Tasted by: Fiona Beckett
(at Viognier Beyond the Rhône tasting, 15 Dec 2020)
Drinking Window: 2021 - 2023
Fresher than many Californian Viogniers, but still with the rich, peachy fruit you’d expect from the Sunshine State, plus a good dash of pineapple and other tropical fruit. Fred Cline was one of the original Rhône Rangers and the Nancy’s Vines is named after his wife. They recommend matching it with Thai food.
