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, 2017Almost dark earthy Burgundian fruits. Oddly, a hint of green apple jolly rancher follows. Nice red and purple florals. Very juicy watermelon, some sticky tannins here, chalk and long fresh fruity finish. Delicious!!!

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.

May 25th, 2016Rich and round the mid palate is soft and full. The finish is still dry but not over the top. Well made. There was some funk on the nose but it blew off pretty fast.
