HAYWARD, Calif. - July 30, 2003 - Signature Wines, a premier provider of custom label wines and distinctive wine labels for businesses and individual consumers, announced its Blackridge Canyon wines have received thirty-one gold, silver and bronze medals from nine different wine competitions since February of 2003.
These prestigious competitions include the Grand Harvest Awards, Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, San Diego National Wine Competition, the LA County Fair (also known as the “granddaddy of wine judging events”), the International Eastern Wine Competition, the Long Beach Grand Cru, the San Francisco International Wine Competition, the Indiana International Wine Competition and the El Dorado County Fair.
Different from wine ratings or scores, wine judging honors wines of distinction with medals that designate exceptional wines in various categories – including appellation, vintage, varietal and retail price. Wine judging is a way to give accolades to winemakers while stimulating consumer interest in wine. This interest in turn generates demand and encourages winemakers to produce their best.
Thousands of wines from hundreds of wineries are judged at each competition. Judging panels typically include well-known winemakers, restaurateurs, wine store representatives, noted wine writers, educators, and recognized wine connoisseurs. To win an award is the mark of a truly exceptional quality wine.
The Blackridge Canyon Napa Series wines have taken home eighteen medals, including a Gold medal for the Napa Series Merlot. The grapes are grown in the heart of Napa Valley, where warm daytime temperatures tempered by morning and evening fog provide excellent soils to create wines that are rich and distinctive.
The Blackridge Canyon Signature Series have also earned thirteen individual awards, including a Gold medal for the Signature Series Merlot. These wines come from the Sacramento River Delta and Sierra Nevada foothills, where the combination of warm days and cool nights during ripening provides the grapes with just the right amount of acidity.
