Williamsburg Winery wins two awards at the Decanter World Wine Awards of London

For the third consecutive year, the Williamsburg Winery has earned awards from the most acclaimed wine competition in the world.  Decanter World Wine Awards of London awarded a Bronze medal to the 2005 Gabriel Archer Reserve and “Commended” the 2006 Vintage Reserve Chardonnay.

This year’s competition drew more than 10,000 entries.  Only 160 medals were awarded to New World wineries. The Bronze medal for the 2005 Gabriel Archer Reserve compares to other well-recognized wines from notable vintners, such as the Joseph Phelps Le Mistral 2006 at $46, rated at 92 points by Wine Spectator.

The Gabriel Archer Reserve, at $32, scored better than some of the top-notch California wines. The Stags Leap Fay Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, with a price point of $149, only earned a Commended award.

The Williamsburg Winery 2006 Vintage Reserve Chardonnay $24 earned a  “Commended” award sharing that honor with Beringer Chardonnay at $30 and the Louis Jadot from Meursault Burgundy France at $42

With these two awards, Williamsburg Winery wines are now officially placed by Decanter World Wine Awards in the category of “The Best Wines in the World”.
Stephen Spurrier said, and I quote “The wines have wonderful personality…and are intelligently made”.
