          A winery makes wine and a vineyard grows grapes! Sometimes a winery can have a vineyard where they get their grapes from, but often a vineyard in Texas only grows grapes and then sells them to wineries.

2018 TEXSOM International Wine Awards results – Texas Wineries

March 13, 2018 by Jeff Cope Leave a Comment

TEXSOM Interntional Wine Awards - Texas Results

The 2018 TEXSOM International Wine Awards results were released from the judging that was held February 12-14, 2018. There were over 3,200 entries representing 30 countries and 21 U.S. States, with the most diverse selection of wines in the history of the competition.

The entries were judged by 63 internationally renowned tastemakers from six countries, including 20 Master Sommeliers, 18 Masters of Wine, and other category experts. The judges awarded 2,223 medals: 285 Gold medals (9% of total entries), 760 Silver medals (24%), and 1,178 Bronze medals (37%). Vintages spanned eight decades, with the oldest being 1957.

Wines chosen for Judges’ Selections are nominated by judging panels for specific categories, then blind-tasted by special panels to determine the winner of each Selection. Judges’ Selections demonstrate quality and unique character that are exceptional even amongst their medal-winning peers.

Judges selection awards were wines deemed by judges as exceptional from among their award-winning peers. The Texas wines chosen were:

  • Becker Vineyards Cabernet Franc Reserve 2015, Texas High Plains
  • Brennan Vineyards Lily, Roussanne 2016, Reddy Vineyards
  • Enoch’s Stomp Light Portejas, Blanc du Bois 2011, Texas
  • Hilmy Cellars Albariño 2016, Blackwater Draw, Texas High Plains

Gold Medal and other select winning wines will also be highlighted on the TEXSOM International Wine Awards website throughout the year in the Featured Wines section.
