Cruse Wine Co., Valdigué Rancho Chimiles, Napa Valley, 2023
Cruse Wine Co. captures the vibrant potential of California's heritage varietals, sourcing this Valdigué from the historic Rancho Chimiles vineyard in Wooden Valley. Nestled against the Vacas mountains, the 40-plus-year-old vines thrive in silt loam soils under persistent morning fog, naturally preserving the grape's bright acidity. Transitioning to organic farming, the fruit undergoes brief skin contact and ages in older puncheons to maintain its energetic purity. It is incredibly juicy and light-bodied, delivering fragrant notes of fresh strawberry, crushed blueberry, and lavender, anchored by a chalky, mouthwatering finish. Varietal: Valdigué Appellation: Napa Valley, California, United States Farming: Organic Practices Style: Red. Dry, vibrant and light-bodied
