Our new 2008 Chardonnay was named the Best Chardonnay, Double Gold at the 2010 San Francisco International Wine Competition! Following a Double Gold award at the 2010 All-Canadian Wine Championships earlier this year, this fabulous oaked Chardonnay is off to a fine start. Also at the two competitions, our 2007 Coyote Bowl Cabernet Sauvignon was also awarded Double Gold at SFIWC, and our 2007 Coyote Bowl Merlot won Gold at the All-Canadians.
