Acquiesce Winery & Vineyards, Ingenue 2018, Lodi, California

Tasting Note: An intriguing white blend from Lodi, California that unites a cornucopia of citrus and stone-fruit flavors in your glass.

Pale-intensity lemon in color, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity nose of grapefruit, white peach, bosc pear, apple blossom and white rose.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied white blend delivers medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose with a hint of apricot, dill and lemon-citrus peel.

There is midpalate complexity and flavor concentration that assert themselves in a balanced manor.

A well-executed white blend.
