Pride Mountain Vineyards Chardonnay 2025
(Napa / Sonoma Valley, California)

Overflowing with aromas of white lilac and Spanish lime, the 2025 is everything we hope to achieve in Pride Viognier. The exotic white flower and stone fruit are subtly accented by notes of lychee, grapefruit pith and lime blossoms. The allure increases as the first sip brings its refreshing, mouthwatering nature into focus. Bright and lively on the palate, this wine balances all the floral and apricot we love in Viognier with a subtle texture and freshness that carries it through to a surprisingly long finish. This wine is the perfect complement to warm summer evenings spent with family and friends.

Ratings & Reviews

96 Points - James Suckling (2024):
This excellent wine shows great varietal expression with a lovely perfume. Aromas of apricots, lemon confit, rose petals and jasmine. The palate is silky and textural with a waxy feel, cut through with finely balanced acidity and a slight phenolic grip, bringing more dimension to the tactile finish. This is a fine viognier. Drink or hold.

95 Points - Decanter Magazine (2024):
Owner Steve Pride, who was married in Beaune, has a sentimental connection to this Viognier—the origins of which trace back to that experience. He tells me the Viognier has been moved around the property in search of its ideal site, yet wherever it’s planted, it remains one of California’s most delicious and complex examples. Wonderfully aromatic, it shows beeswax, honeycomb, and white flowers, followed by rich stone-fruit flavours and a luscious texture that’s less viscous than in past vintages. There’s greater acid brightness this year, layered with perfumed beauty and a saline edge on the finish. Totally captivating.

93 Points - Vinous Media (2024):
The 2024 Viognier is another gorgeous white from Pride. Varietal notes are front and center. Apricot, ginger, mint, white flowers and lime are all beautifully delineated in the glass. Soft, creamy contours wrap it all together. This stylish Viognier is so attractive. (Drink between 2025-2030)
