Awards from the International Women’s Wine & Spirits Competition

We were honored to receive a number of gold medals and high scores at the International Women’s Wine & Spirits Competition, which took place this summer. This is the only competition in the U.S. (possibly the world) to feature exclusively female judges. Now in its fifteenth year, the competition brings together esteemed judging panels made up exclusively of professional women winemakers, distillers, sommeliers, retail buyers, beverage industry journalists and winery educators. The judges identify not only the best wines and spirits submitted, but also those they feel would appeal most to women buyers and consumers. “Every year, I’m impressed with the dedication our judges bring to their task,” says Debra Del Fiorentino, founder of Wine Competitions Management & Production, which organizes and hosts the competition. “Most [of them] are longtime, experienced judges, but there’s something different about the atmosphere at this competition. I don’t know that I would call it ‘female energy,’ but there’s definitely much more collaboration and discussion before choosing winners.”

Here are the results for our wines:

2019 Petit Verdot Best of Class 92 points

2019 Petit Verdot Gold 92 points

2019 Cabernet Franc Gold 92 points

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Gold 90 points

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Block Three Gold 91 points
