I am continually impressed with the wines from this small family run winery in Calistoga. Their Valdiguie is one of my favorites. — 3 years ago

This wine is under their Silt brand. I wish more wineries would make rosé of valdiguie! — 4 years ago

My second vineyard of Cruse sparkling Valdiguie and it’s good but it’s definitely the less interesting of the two. Where Deming was a pretty hazy white strawberry, Rancho Chimiles is more upfront - visuals and flavors of bright Jolly Rancher watermelon and pink strawberry starburst. A little overpriced at $35.

Big, juicy, candied fruits abound here. Aromas of cherries and blueberries, and flavors of plum and black raspberry. All around a very enjoyable bottle of wine and a terrific pairing with pulled pork! 93% Carignane, 7% Valdiguie. 6/1/22. — 2 years ago

I had higher hopes for this guy. Mostly because of my respect for Cruse. All things considered I preferred this years Valdiguie Nouveau.

This is mineral laden with salts and cinnamon and black cherries. Could use more harmony and symphony. — 3 years ago

Fresh and light, just 11%. Love Broc’s hands off style. Mostly Valdiguie, with some zin and trousseau this vintage. Nice zip and texture to it. — 4 years ago

2020 Frediani - Valdiguie

Enjoy now.

I am a fan of Valdiguie, and from the few I have had (J. Lohr, Lusu Cellars), I highly recommend Ridge Valdiguie.

Spot on, fruity, lighter-med bodied red. Gamay-ish as far as body and young fruitynotes.

More, please!

Paso Valdiguie. Deeper and fuller bodied than any other valdiguie I have ever had, but maintains a M+ level acid...with ripe blueberry, tart raspberry, and blackberry cobbler. Even with the full body it’s still super easy-drinking... reminded me of a warm year Sonoma Pinot. Very fairly priced at $20. — 3 years ago
