Press
Release
September
23, 2005 - Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina (NC) - Silver
Coast Winery proudly received five more medals in a recent
Tasters Guild Consumer Wine Judging competition. Out of 685
entries the local Brunswick County winery walked away with a
double gold for the new 2004 Viognier, a silver medal for the
rustic, Italian styled Barbera, as well as three bronze medals
for their Cabernet, Merlot and 2004 White Merlot bottlings.
Silver Coast 2004
Viognier — Georgia
”Prominent peach and melon flavors with pleasant mineral
overtones combine for a pleasing experience at the dinner table
with roasted poultry or pasta with a cream sauce,” were some of
the comments from one of the judges on the lovely rendition of
an elegant and often times overlooked grape variety. The
Viognier bottling is a recent addition to the Silver Coast
line-up, but there were only 180 cases of this wonderful 2004
vintage wine produced. This is definitely a wine that offers a
nice break for the everyday chardonnay and pinot grigio
drinkers.
The lovely, lighter style 2002
Cabernet Sauvignon came in nose to nose with cabs from Abarbanel
Wine Co. (France), Jacobs Creek (Aus), and Rodney Strong (CA). The
2002 Merlot is also a new bottling for Silver Coast Winery which has
been well received by the judges thus far. The fuller-bodied Barbera
came away with a silver medal and is a great accompaniment to richer
Italian dishes. This wine is packed with layered dark plum skin and
dried cherry compote accents and finishes with a zing of black
pepper spice surrounded by a hint of black licorice.
