A wonderful GSM Blend — 3 years ago
This wine is medium dark red in the glass and has a nose of strawberry and cherry, with an earthy element added to it -sort of a Beaujolais feel. The palate offers up brilliant cherry notes and a racy acidity, along with rather firm tannins. The oak treatment - only five months neutral - make this a great choice for backyard cookouts this summer. Don't be afraid to ice down this unusual grape. Valdiguié is almost extinct, I'm told. It was once called Napa Gamay. — 5 years ago
It's pretty tannic, so it's a wonderful food wine, but on its own, not so much. My guess it's a good wine to age. — 4 years ago
This wine has a medium garnet tint to it, but is full red, not rosato red. The nose is amazing - there is a bit of raspberry, a touch of redwood and a hint of cinnamon. I don't recall ever smelling a wine like it. On the palate, again, amazing. Red berries of some sort dominate - like the kind we would pick along the railroad tracks in East Texas - and there is a mild tartness. The tannins are firm enough for those burgers from the grill and the acidity is refreshing. Chill this for your backyard barbecues and everyone will want to know what it is, and where they can get some. — 5 years ago
