Acquiesce 2018 Picpoul Blanc: This is a lovely, single-varietal rendition of a lesser-known Rhône variety. It’s crisp, delicate, and fresh with vibrant aromas and flavors of green apple, lemon balm, and hints of spring flowers—all framed by racing, mineral-tinged acidity. A real delight in the glass and even better when paired with food; I recently enjoyed it with Greek chicken salad. This Lodi winery only makes white wine (and one rosé) and everything I’ve tasted from them has been top-notch. An excellent wine to complement your summer menu—you can check Acquiesce out at acquiescevineyards.com. #Lodi #LodiWine #PicpoulBlanc #wine #winelover #wineenthusiast #myvinespot

Just stupidly aromatic. Apricot and pear-sauce and gooseberry and the kind of grassy piquantness that shocks the system and the kind of smoky verve that waters the eyes. Radically saline, sweat and sharp fat, monumentally mineralific, the kind of sizzling texture flowing off this thing at cellar-temperature makes your white-wine fantasies absolute REALITY. As I am sure most of you are aware,this is the blanc version Donald Patz & Francois Villard’s Mendocino joint-effort. Sourcing from the famed Alder Springs Vineyard. Racy and complex in the mouth, I think 55° is about the perfect temperature to savor this thick, acidic beauty. All the stone-fruit makes an icy entrance, gilded by lavish acid, black walnut and Buddha’s hand puddle on roux begging for the creamy addition. And the fatty swirl is there, carrying rich, ripe fruit in straining burlap sacks in a train of sweaty mules. The fruit actually accelerates in the finish, presenting a pie-tart envelope to an exuberant acerbic party. And the Cadillac candy gold drizzles down the back of your throat. And everyone applauds. You will too. 2018 @terminim_wines ‘Cepages d’ Or’ #Marsanne/#Roussanne/#Viognier/#PicpoulBlanc 54/22/12/12 #alderspringsvineyard #mendocinowine Co. #California 13.5 #sophienwaldglass (at Alder Springs Vineyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-_BIEnHPvI/?igshid=cq48vq41rsaw
