After receiving 6,960 entries from 35 states across the country, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC) has once again successfully narrowed thousands of wines down to an exclusive few. A complete listing of the 2018 results, sortable by price point and category, can be found at winejudging.com.
In the second week of January, 67 skilled judges from a variety of fields including trade, education, media, retail and hospitality traveled to the Cloverdale Citrus Fairgrounds in Sonoma County to determine the best wines in the USA. Utilizing an extensive process that divides the varietals into several categories and subcategories, the event gave the panels the chance to rate entries as Bronze, Silver, Gold or “Double Gold” (equivalent to a unanimous rating by all panel members).

“With 12% Petite Sirah, this old-vine wine is dominated by candied plum on the nose and mouth, with additional notes of ripe black fruits on the palate. The palate is bold yet well-integrated, with a velvety texture and graceful structure.”

The wines from aCure eState Vineyard are very consistent in regard to their unique terroir driven aromas. The magnesium-rich soils reduce the natural Cabernet vigor and lower yields considerably, making concentrated wines with well-expressed minerality and dark stone fruit aromas. There is a rich, velvety texture, but the finish is dominated by focused fruit. The nose is complex: layers of dark stone fruit, berries, maple, cocoa-mocha and a hint of forest fl oor. Enjoy now or age for another 5-7 years.

Harvest Challenge 2017 is a wine competition that bases its judging on a group of vineyards (or even vines) from the same region, belonging to a specific appellation, and sharing the same type of soil, weather conditions, grapes and wine making savoir-faire, which contribute to give the specific personality to the wine.

Aromas of dried cherry and berry with hints of mushroom. Full body, velvety tannins and a light chocolate, cedar and dark strawberry character. Slightly fruit forward but has form. Drink or hold.
