Platinum Award winners at The 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Block Three 2016
96 points
Winemaker Mitch Hawkins is currently producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon ever made in Lake County, in the hills northeast of the Napa Valley. This is yet another stunning Cab from Mitch, on a par with more famous wineries in neighboring Napa. This vintage is rich and dense, with aromas of blackberry and spice, a note of graphite and beautifully integrated tannins. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.

2015 Petite Sirah 2015
94 points
A sturdy but approachable Petite Sirah that is more than worthy of your cellar. Blackberry, bold wood spice, firm grip and a long finish where the fruit shines through – it’s a classic tale that fans of the grape will recognize. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
