The new 2004 vintage of Premium Oak Chardonnay was lauded a bronze medal, the first for this wine since its debut from the cellar. The 2004 Touriga was also awarded a bronze medal. No surprise, seeing that this wine has been a favorite with competition judges and winery staff and visitors alike. A total of 3,318 wines were judged by 55 wine professionals. There were a large number of participants from major media as well as wine trade specific publications.

Sattui, Flora Springs, and J. Lohr, to name a few. The Touriga competed with wines of similar style from Artesa, Fetzer Vineyards, and Bonny Doon.
