Best in Class for INTERCOASTAL at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition!

 

We are overjoyed to share some fantastic news with you!  INTERCOASTAL Vineyards has brought home four prestigous awards from the 2024 Los Angeles International Wine Competition! 

We are proud to announce that our dedication to crafting exceptional wines has been recognized by the world's finest judges! Amongst thousands of entries from wineries across the world, INTERCOASTAL Vineyards took home the gold once again!

GOLD medals have been awarded for both our 2019 Estate Grown Petite Sirah and our 2022 Estate Grown Unoaked Chardonnay!  The Unoaked Chardonnay was an exceptional standout, earning 97 points AND BEST IN CLASS!  

Winning Best in Class is an incredible achievement, and we are so proud that our 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay stood out amongst the best of the best! This award is a wonderful validation of our commitment to excellence and our passion for producing outstanding wines.

The 2019 Petite Sirah and 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay are definitely standouts in our collection of wines, as well as in the tasting room! These two wines have always been fan favorites among our wine club members and winery visitors. Gold medal recognition for these wines provides a testament to the hard work of our winemaking team and the extraordinary quality of the grapes we source from our carefully tended vineyards. 

BEST IN CLASS & GOLD - 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay 

The 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant emphasizing the purity of the grape, unburdened by the influence of oak aging.  Light and delicate pastel in color, the wine opens with hints of honeysuckle and orange blossom.  Perfectly balanced, beautiful fruit flavors linger on the palate with a finish that is nothing short of exquisite.  If you are not a typical "fan" of Chardonnay... this one is for you!  

GOLD - 2019 Petite Sirah 

The 2019 Limited Release Petite Sirah fills the glass with a deep, dark, rich velvet color and delicious flavors of plum and blueberry conserve.   Made from single vineyard, estate grown, premium fruit hand picked at the perfect ripeness, this full bodied, non-manipulated wine has a firm backbone of tannins and a lingering finish.  Precisely dry and perfectly balanced, we have affectionatly named this shining star our "blackberry bomb"!

 

SILVER - 2020 Merlot 

Our 2020 Merlot has been awarded the SILVER medal!

Simply. Stunning!  The fruit is Estate Grown in the Clarksburg AVA, where the river bends around our vineyard and the soil is rich with beautiful minerality.  The warm summer days and cool evening breeze provide the perfect growing conditions for this spectacular fruit. It's no surprise that this wine captured the attention of the judges and the Silver Medal is a wondeful recognition of its exceptional quality and the care we put into every vineyard and bottle. 

Barrel aged for 26 Months in neutral french oak, the opulent flavors of this full bodied wine are simply divine. A gorgeous ruby red glistens in the glass and ripe plum greets the nose with enticing flavors!  Marionberry and plum, cigar humidor with lingering notes of tobacco and a silky smooth finish.

San Francisco Chronicle Public Tasting

We Embraced Every Moment at the 2020 SF Chronicle Public Wine Tasting! With over 1,000 wineries and thousands of wine lovers in attendance, it is honestly a very exciting, yet overwhelming feeling. On the 20th Anniversary of the largest competition of North American Wines, we were elated to showcase two double gold and four gold medal award winning wines…and even more excited to welcome a number of new wine club members to our family!  

#1. The Award Winning Intercoastal Vineyards Wines!

Double Gold 2016 Petite Sirah
Double Gold 2018 Unoaked Chardonnay
Gold 2018 Chenin Blanc
Gold 2018 Rosé of Pinotage
Gold 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

#2. The Parrot Reunion

There is a man who attends the public tasting every year with a parrot on his shoulder.  Annie laughed and said she hoped she would see the parrot again… and then all of a sudden there he was!  She put this parrot on her shoulder last year and so it was like a reunion. 

#3. We were spotted by friends we made in Santa Barbara!

After a full day of pouring at the SF Chronicle Public Tasting, we went to a restaurant on Pier 39 to celebrate. Some friends we made at the Santa Barbara Food & Wine Festival last year spotted us by the bar and we were delighted to catch up.

#4.Thank you, to those who took time to visit with us and learn more about our wines.  We hope to see you again soon!  Cheers!

Vineyard Update: Pruning Time!

✨Vineyard Update: Our vines are getting the spa treatment to rejuvenate! Although the vineyard is dormant this time of year, it is a vital time for them to recharge before the next growing season that is soon to come!

The winter months are the most ideal time for the vines to be pruned. Check out our video below, where Ruben is pruning today to remove the old wood to make room for new growth in the Spring. 🌱

This labor intensive process is critical to the health of the vineyard & preparation for the new fruit in the coming months! 🍇

Shrimply Delicious Pairing with our 2018 Chenin Blanc

We are loving our winter garden! It makes me so happy to walk outside my door and pick the freshest greens for a garden salad to compliment a delicious bottle of wine. 

Looking for an easy dinner idea? Gather some greens and throw some shrimp and veggies together! My dressing of choice to pair with this 2018 Chenin Blanc includes olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon, garlic, shallots, salt, peper, and a touch of Dijon Mustard. 

Yum!

Our Chenin Blanc: 

GOLD 2020 SF Chronicle Wine Competition, BEST IN CLASS & TRIPLE GOLD 2019 Dan Berger's INTERNATIONAL Wine & Cider Competition

The nose is met with delicious aromatic flavors of rustic pear crostata, honeysuckly and a delicate touch of pineapple.  A perfectly balanced, medium bodied, off dry delight!
