Lincoln Peak Vineyard wins top awards at international wine competition, including "Best in Show" Red Wine.
Lincoln Peak Vineyard won 5 awards at the recently judged International Cold Climate Wine Competition in St Paul, Minnesota. Over 300 wines were entered. The judges awarded 4 Double Gold Medals, and Lincoln Peak Vineyard took 2 of them. Our 2008 Lacrescent and 2008 Marquette were the Double Gold winners. The Marquette took the "Best in Show" Red Wine trophy. The 2008 Lacrescent Late Harvest took a Gold medal, and the Black Willow and Frontenac both took Silver medals.
What is the mainstream, national wine press saying about Lincoln Peak wine? From an article called "Great wines from obscure varieties" at Richard Leahy's Wine Report: "Lincoln Peak Vineyard Marquette 2008 (VT) This is a rich, full-bodied wine... Dark purple color and blackberry and spice aromas lead to black cherry, wild berry, and smoke nuances on the palate, with plush smooth long tannins. Who knew a red wine like this could be grown and made in Vermont?"
