Valdiguié all day! Couldn't wait, right off the truck. Glou Glou with enough complexity to keep one interested. Energizing. Vibrant. Refreshing.

Blackberry, blueberry, cherry pits, granite. Reminds me somewhat of a cru Beaujolais, somewhat of a Dirty & Rowdy Mourvèdre, but is entirely its own beast 😜

Interesting. Unique. Never heard of this varietal so I decided to take an adventure, well worth it. Nose seems like a Beaujolais, but palate has very soft tannins, dry and good balance between earth and berry. An interesting wine for an interesting occasion. Cheers!

I want to drink the whole bottle tonight, but I want to see how it develops. Super fresh, fruity, a bit of tartness, herb & spice on the finish (mint, peppercorn, nutmeg). At $30 it's not an everyday drinker, works with simple fare like roast chicken, grilled lamb, or even a cold terrine.
