Turner Vineyard Valdiguié

A wine with tremendous agility, response and acuity when provoked by a broad spectrum of flavors.

One off the most original california wines of 2014 that celebrates, youth and playfulness with a carefree abandon. Tremendously versatile with food.

Thanks Yoon - awesome recommendation

A varietal native to Southwest France but known locally as Napa Gamay. I'm pairing this on the tasting menu: crepinette of bass with red bell pepper/fermented red pepper sauce. The wine addresses the sauce while still honoring the delicate flavor and texture of the fish.

Still tasting great. Fresh and bright.

This Valdiguié (called Gros Auxerrois in Languedoc-Roussillon) from Sonoma comes across as a fruity Gamay or even a light-weight New World Cabernet Franc. Strawberries, lilac and menthol emanate from a light ruby red. Generous body with some rough tannins and acidity keep the finish interesting.

I am loving this grape. Cherries, funk, river rock, some pepper. Fantastic easy food wine.

A lot of fruit- strawberry/fig, but dry.

Nose of a powerful Cab with bright ripe red fruits and a well balanced acidic palate.

Textbook. Better than the last bottle.
