Broc Cellars
Solano County Green Valley Valdiguié
Had never heard of the wine label or the grape. A buddy brought this out as he has some sort of connection with the winemaker I believe. Very unique red. First time I think I’ve ever gotten watermelon notes from a wine! Tart fruits here...green apple. Crisp acidity. Lots going on, but it’s not heavy at all. A thinker!

Nov 22nd, 2017I love how this wine celebrates femininity and delicacy. A wine can be restrained yet full of flavor. This wine has charm, which has been hard to find in wine lately--kudos to Chris for having the courage to hold back.

Crazy wine. Out of all these hip sommelier turned winemakers, I still think Broc is the best and most authentic. His wines are always surprising instead of just tart and trendy. This one has some crazy pickle aroma and hits a pleasant amount of volatile acidity. Very ripe fruit with wild acidity. Super interesting and intriguing.
