In 2009, Andesite Vineyard
submitted 2006 Mervignon to a blind tasting, the 2010 American
Fine Wine Competition for Meritage Style Blends. It received a Gold
Medal within the very respectable medal winners below. We
appreciate the award for what we believe is an excellent wine. We think
the 2007
Mervignon is also outstanding, a terrific bargain, and look forward
to entering it next year.
The medals awarded were
BOC-Best of Class, GG-Double Gold, G-Gold, S-Silver, and B-Bronze
