Apothic White Blend California White Wine

Which grapes went into it? Apothic's own product page for this wine finally answers that: the White Blend is Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Grigio, the page states. Apothic is the brand, and the confirmed origin stays at the state level, California.

The shoppers answer what they can. By August 12, 2026, 205 of them had rated this bottle, more raters than most of the 483 rated wines in our catalog, and their average came to 4.43 out of five, beneath the 4.71 median of everything we rate.

Then the price, which varies by store: in September 2026, one of the four stores we checked wanted $10.99 for this wine, cheap enough to put it in the lowest quarter of the whites we track, and the other wanted $17.99.

Apothic's page describes the aroma as 'vibrant notes of peach and apricot, gently framed by a delicate floral aroma,' the producer's words, and suggests pairing the wine with spicy foods such as barbecue, jalapeno poppers and curry. The same page credits the bottle with a 90-point score from Wine Enthusiast, dated April 2025. A separate accolades page on Apothic's own site lists an 88-point Wine Enthusiast score, also dated April 2025, for a wine it calls the '2023 White Original Blend,' a different name and a different number from the product page's own listing, and our record has not confirmed the two describe the same bottle. Neither page gives an alcohol percentage.

Our call: this suits the shopper choosing on price and company, since it sits among the least expensive whites we track with one of the larger rating pools we cover behind it, and the producer now names the blend behind it too, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Grigio. Pass if you weigh how that pool actually scored it, because the average falls below the middle of the rated wines we cover, or if you want one trustworthy critic score behind the label; the producer's own pages disagree on that number.
