J. Lohr Estate, Monterey (California) Valdiguie 2016

Mar 20, 2018

By Rich Cook

 Easily one of the best ten dollar bottles of wine available today.  Every time I taste it I wonder why there aren’t more domestic producers of this variety.  It’s bright and fresh, with cherry and spicy raspberry flavors delivered and lingering long.  Great on its own or with chicken or turkey.  Love it!  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
