This is no small achievement. The Press Democrat’s competition has the honor and distinction of recognizing the best wines produced from California’s prestigious North Coast wine region. This contest drew top-level wines and hand-picked top-notch judges to create a sophisticated and enthusiastic wine experience that is considered second to none. Wines judged here were considered to be a cut above the rest – simply put, the Best of the Best. A standing of this caliber truly showcases the level of wines produced in Northern California.
Wines were judged from a field of 1,117 entries. Only wines rating 90+ points were awarded gold medals and were eligible to move on to the “Best Of” Category.
