Cary Q Wines Lodi Picpoul Blanc Vibes 2023
This California Picpoul flips the southern French script with body and presence that still feels bright and mineral. Native yeast fermentation and stainless steel aging preserve the volcanic clay-loam soils' signature, while the higher elevation site delivers crisp citrus, honeysuckle, and a pleasant salinity. A creamy mid-palate keeps it smooth and food-friendly, far more generous than its Old World cousins. From woman-owned Cary Q's collaboration with family-farmed vineyards.
