Cline Cellars Classic Viognier North Coast California 2022
Vintage Character
Cline Classic Viognier 2022 is a North Coast California Viognier that captures the generous fruit and floral lift this Rhône variety can achieve in Northern California. The 2022 growing season brought warm, generally favorable conditions, helping the grapes reach full flavor while retaining enough freshness to keep the wine balanced, making it a strong-value vintage for approachable, expressive white wine. Sourced from the broad North Coast AVA, the wine benefits from a patchwork of coastal influence, sunny inland sites, and varied soils that give Viognier both ripe stone-fruit character and a bright, clean line.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, it opens with white peach, apricot, honeysuckle, jasmine, and a touch of citrus blossom, followed by hints of ginger and a light creamy note. The palate is dry, medium- to full-bodied, and supple, with juicy orchard and stone-fruit flavors, gentle texture from lees contact, and a soft, rounded finish that remains fresh rather than heavy. It pairs well with roast chicken with herbs, grilled shrimp, or mildly spiced Thai coconut curry.
Winery Background
Cline Family Cellars was founded in 1982 by Fred and Nancy Cline and built its reputation as one of California’s leading champions of Rhône varieties. The family’s farming ethos emphasizes sustainability, with extensive use of solar power and biologically minded vineyard practices across its estate holdings. In the cellar, the aim is to preserve varietal purity and fruit clarity, using clean fermentation and texture-building techniques such as lees aging rather than overtly flashy winemaking. That combination of scale, consistency, and long-standing commitment to Rhône grapes makes Cline a dependable benchmark for value-driven California Viognier.
