DOGWOOD CELLARS AWARDS!

• 2005 Dogwood Cellars Zinfandel - Gold Medal 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2008 West Coast Wine Competition, 86 Points Wine Enthusiast - May 2008, Silver Medal 2008 Grand Harvest Awards. 89 Points & a "Puff" Connoisseurs' Guide (review below):
   
  "6% Syrah. Ripe berries and plums and a sweet streak of vanilla run the length of this open and very likable Zin from first sniff through to its lengthy finish, and, if a touch hot at the end, the wine is very well mannered and shows a little more polish than its high-ripeness genre predicts. There is a slight, but welcome, note of piquancy that brightens its way, and a couple of years in the cellar will help it along." -Connoisseurs' Guide - January 2008
   
• 2005 Dogwood Cellars Syrah - Gold Medal 2008 West Coast Wine Competition, 87 Points Wine Enthusiast - May 2008, Silver Medal 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2008 Grand Harvest Awards, 87 Points. Connoisseurs' Guide & a "Puff" (review below):.
  
  "7% Zinfandel. A peculiar combination of sausage and garlic and dried weeds
  meets the nose here, yet for all of its idiosyncrasies at the start, this
  medium-full-bodied wine turns a good corner once in the mouth and delivers a
  fair measure of ripe, spiced berry fruit. Fairly open in stance even if
  showing enough tannin to take a few years of age, it can be enjoyed now with
  the likes of a hearty pot roast." - Connoisseurs' Guide - March 2008"
   
  
• 2004 Dogwood Cellars Zinfandel - Silver Medal 2007 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2007 Grand Harvest Awards, Silver Medal 2007 California State Fair Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2007 San Francisco International Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2007 West Coast Wine Competition, Silver Medal 2007 Mendocino County Fair Wine Competition, Bronze Medal 2007 San Diego Wine Competition, Bronze Medal 2007 Los Angeles International Wine Competition, Bronze Medal 2007 North of the Gate Wine Competition, 88 Points Robert Parker (review below):

"Aromas of flowers, sweet briery fruit, raspberries, and cherries emerge
from this attractive, dark ruby-colored, medium-bodied Zinfandel. With good
sweetness as well as pure fruit, this well-made, stylish effort merits
attention over the next 1 - 3 years. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate #165

• 2004 Dogwood Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - Silver Medal 2008 West Coast Wine Competition, 85 Points Wine Enthusiast - May 2008, Silver Medal 2008 Grand Harvest Awards, Bronze Medal 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
   
• 2003 Dogwood Cellars Zinfandel - 86 Points Wine Enthusiast, 85 Points Wine Spectator (reviews below):
  
  "This is one of those high-alcohol, Porty Zins. With nearly 16% alcohol, it's like a mocha chocolate drink infused with cassis, black cherries and raspberries, then sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. Thankfully it's dry, which makes it worthy of recommendation." -Wine Enthusiast - December 2005
  
  "Restrained, with a zesty mix of plum and raspberry notes that mingle nicely with tea and spice flavors. Smooth and juicy, it turns complex on the finish." - Wine Spectator - November 2005
