The event: 5th annual BC Iconic Reds tasting with John Schreiner in Richmond
The wine and vintage: Hester Creek’s “The Judge” – First place
Date: November 20th
A total of 20 bold, BC reds, were brought to the table, double decanted and
served blind to a crowd of over 100 eager wine lovers. These wines are the top-tier wines in each winery’s portfolio, including such awarded wines as Painted Rock’s Red Icon and Black Hills Nota Bene.
The overall favourite, voted by ballot, was the 2009 Judge from Hester Creek Estate Winery.
This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown from 100% estate grown fruit. This well-aged, limited release wine is available at the winery.
