Emme Wines Valdigue ‘Violet Sky’ Ricetti Vyd. 2025

Region: Mendocino, California Appellation: Redwood Valley Type/Style: Red Wine Grapes: Valdigue Rosalind Reynolds founded Emme Wines with a simple goal: to highlight California's old vineyards and lesser-known grape varieties through wines that feel alive and honest. Violet Sky comes from old Valdiguié vines at Mendocino's Ricetti Vineyard and captures everything that makes the grape so appealing. Bursting with raspberry, tart cherry, violets, and spice, the wine is light on its feet and packed with energy. Fermented with minimal intervention and bottled to preserve freshness, Violet Sky rewards a slight chill and never takes itself too seriously. Equal parts Beaujolais and California sunshine, it's a bottle that seems to disappear faster than expected. Perfect for charcuterie, roast chicken, burgers, or pizza night.
