Awards, Reviews and Tasting Notes...

Gold Note wines are earning accolades, medals, awards, and rave reviews! Why? Because we compose our wines with extra care so you taste the music in every sip. Judges love Gold Note wine, but more importantly, we want you to enjoy and judge our wines for yourself.

Gold Note's repertoire includes five varietal wines and we're thrilled that all are medal winners. Recent awards include Gold Best of Class and Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Tasting Competition, Double Gold at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, and Gold at the Best of the Bay National Zin Challenge.
