Acquiesce
Acquiesce produces white wines from California that draw on Rhône varieties and traditions. The winery's portfolio centers on aromatic and textured expressions: Jolie Premium White blends Grenache Blanc and Viognier into a wine rated 93 by prestige critics; Clairette Blanche, a varietal wine from Clairette grapes, earned a 92 rating; and a Roussanne bottling also scored 92. These wines reflect the character of their constituent grapes—Grenache Blanc's delicate stone fruit and minerality, Viognier's floral intensity, Clairette's crisp acidity and subtle complexity, and Roussanne's richness and texture. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output, recognizing the technical precision in these bottlings.
