Wine Details
Pours a beautiful coral hue in the glass, showing immediate aromas of strawberry and blossom. On the palate this wine is incredibly quaffable – juicy strawberries are backed by apple skins, wet stone, and a hint of sweetness, finishing long with a clean, crisp acidity.

Lot 639 comes to us from perhaps the most famous producer on the entire Central Coast, sourced from certified sustainable estate vineyards and showcasing one of the rarest plantings in California: the Valdiguié grape. Typically only found in the south of France, Valdiguié has established a niche presence here in the heart of Arroyo Seco, and you’ll see why when you taste the quality of the wine – this is an absolute lock to be one of the most popular Rosés we’ve ever released.
At $13/bottle, it’s almost half off the original price, and the best value in California Rosé you'll find anywhere.

Mom says, "Drink this!"
My mom loves rosés, so I brought her several to celebrate her 85th birthday. This 639 was the best of the bunch, she said. Like drinking strawberries - fruity, but not overly so. It pairs well with her favorite food, which is salad. Mom liked that the Valdiguié is a European grape - special, like an 85th birthday. Cheers!

Dry and Fruity
Impressive flavor - not very sweet. Our tasters who preferred red wines were very impressed. Our tasters who preferred Rieslings were hoping it would be sweeter but got over it. It was universally liked by all.

Light and refreshing
We don't typically drink rose. But we really enjoyed this one. Not nearly as sweet as we assumed rose's to be. As a new Cam wine club member, we've been impressed with the quality and variety.

Fresh Strawberries
Nice summer rose with a medium sweetness and lots of strawberry notes. Easy drinking and great for salads

Yumminess
Have had lots of different roses over the years - from a number of different varietals, even some blends. This is a first for this grape (go look it up - I’m too lazy to try to spell it). Love the fruity, light citrus taste with a hint of sweetness. Be careful not to drink too cold - that will dilute some of the wonderful flavors. Just got done sipping a glass on the deck in the fall sunshine. Buy before it sells out. Cheers!

Great food wine
This was my first valdiguie rose so I didn't know what to expect. I have enjoyed most of Cam's rose's for the fresh fruit flavors. This one is not so fruity; it's smoother and we'll balanced but still tasty, and without all that fruit up front it's a great food wine. I really enjoyed it and will buy it again.

Great Value
I just recently started drinking Rose. Never liked them before, as I thought they were too sweet. This was smooth and refreshing without being overly sweet. Great Rose for the price.

Love Rose, not a huge fan of this one
very light and refreshing, but lacked the depth of flavor that pushes a rose over the top. That said, still a good hot weather wine.

Refreshing
Very light and refreshing. Not usually a big fan of rose, and this is delicious.
