2006 J. Lohr Estates Wildflower Valdiguie

This was too easy to drink! I found this to be SO fruity and dry, but with very low tannins and alcohol. Maybe the balance was off, I really didn't know what to expect with my first Valdiquie, but this wine was like very tasty juice. I couldnt say it was a fruit-bomb like you get with other deep reds, but the fruitiness was all over!

Soft and creamy, nice bubbles. Not sweet, perfect with sushi, but I enjoy it alone too.

This has become one of my easy drinking everyday Zins. Nice upfront berry flavors, balance with some spiciness and oak. Great with pizza, burgers, steak. Good value.

Nice full flavor, smooth, rich, dry but with a teeny bit of sweetness on the finish while enjoying with some halibut.

Great everyday red! Am happy I followed up on the reservations, great QPR!!! Spicy nose, jammy, tannic finish, I think its very well balanced.
