Broadbent Portfolio (Flatiron, SF): Medium minus ruby color. Complex and earthy - ripe fruit, dark cherry, bramble earth, slight mushroom - this is a riot of earthy and fruity flavors. Slight savory whole cluster impression - jammy black cherry (but all in balance). Underripe white peach, stemmy herbs, dusty peanut skin.
Dry, medium body, medium plus alcohol, medium plus acid - bright, medium tannins - tissue-ish, like birch bark.
My favorite Valdiguie ever?

This was outstanding -- since a suggested pairing was chicken, I was expecting something more pinot like. Nope. Very refreshing, strawberry without being cloying, and then just bright and friendly. Terrific stuff.

Delicious - cherries, pomegranate, earth, herbs, and minerality. Hints of flowers here and there as well. Nice lighter red, despite its deep colour.

Fun wine. Reminded me of a gamay. Fun, but not a re-buy.

Fantanstic, well balanced and lively. Plenty of fun fruit and brightness.
