J. Lohr is one of the few California producers of Valdiguie, making it in a generous Beaujolais style with fresh strawberry and boysenberry fruit that borders on jamminess without becoming cloying. Soft tannins and fleshy fruit make it an engaging drink for patio sipping and service with appetizers.
