The 2020 Wildflower Valdiguié has a lively deep magenta hue. Fresh raspberry, cranberry, and pomegranate aromas are accented by a touch of cracked black pepper and floral hibiscus notes. Brambly, bright red berry flavors play on the palate, leaving a succulent, mouth-watering finish.
J. Lohr's Valdiguié is grown on Chualar loam soil in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. Originally thought to be the Gamay Noir variety of France's Beaujolais winegrowing region, U.C. Davis has since identified this grape to be Valdiguié from southwest France. Regardless of its origin and identity, Valdiguié grown in the windy, cool Arroyo Seco produces a wine reminiscent of the "Crus" of Beaujolais.
