Founder's Fortune 2018 Valdiguié Solano County, California

2018 Solano County Valdiguié

Founder's Fortune 2018 Valdiguié from Solano County, California offers a medium-bodied experience with gentle acidity and a moderate fruit intensity. The tannins in this red wine are present but balanced, adding structure without overpowering the palate. The 2018 vintage showcases the unique characteristics of the Valdiguié varietal grown in the picturesque region of Solano County, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that unfold with each sip.

Tasting notes:

This wine varietal is also sometimes called "Napa Gamay" because it is fresh and vibrant and easy to drink. We like it as much on its own as we do with food. It has a medium body with soft and friendly spice notes that pair beautifully with roasted pork, tomato sauces, and ratatouille.

Region:

Solano County

Solano County is California's second-oldest AVA, and wine drinkers have started to take notice of the region's rustic, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. Located across the bay from San Francisco and just southeast of Napa, Solano has a sleepy, laid-back pace. Cooling breezes from San Pablo Bay and the Suisun Bay create a long season, perfect for growing classic Bordeaux and Rhône grapes. Ripe, plummy Tempranillo and tart cherry flavored Sangiovese also thrive here.
