Occasionally, we hear requests for a light red that can be enjoyed chilled. One candidate is J Lohr’s 2010 Valdiguié named Wildflower. This is the first Valdiguié entry ever to qualify for
Winning Wines. The judges gave it a score of 86.5. The Valdiguié grape is old and has fallen out of favor with the world’s producers. But the California winemakers use carbonic maceration to give the wine a more fruity, smooth taste. We’ve served it at two different samplings and the vast majority love it as an alternative red.
