Validiguié was popular in Napa in the 1960s and 70s when the wines were labeled “Napa Gamay,” but there’s not much left now. This comes from a small leftover vineyard in the heart of the valley. The style is all about fresh fruitiness, with some whole-cluster fermentation. It’s pale in color, with bright aromas of strawberry, red cherry, rose petals, anise, and dried herbs, while the light-bodied palate is gently gripping and grainy.
