ULTIMATE WINE CHALLENGE 2014

June 2-13, 2014

For 2014, there are 33 Chairman’s Trophies awarded, representing the best of the best; Finalists in each section are also

identified as well as Great Values and Tried & True Awards. All bottles are 750 mls unless otherwise noted.

In addition to the score, wines are distinguished with the following Accolades, as a guide to consumers:

95-100 Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation

90-94 Excellent, Highly Recommended

85-89 Very Good, Strong Recommendation

80-84 Good, Recommended

A note on the icons:

Tasting Note: Notes provided for products scored 85 and up. Roll over icon to view.

Great Value: indicates products with a favorable score-to-price relationship.

Tried & True Award: recognizes brands that provide unfailing quality to consumers year after year

Product Image: to assist you with visual identification, we've included an image for each product evaluated. (Please

note that age statements, vintages or label may vary slightly from the specific product evaluated but it represents a

helpful portrayal of the brand.) Click icon to view.

Entered products that were scored below 80 points have not been included; Ultimate Beverage Challenge is dedicated to

recognizing the best of the best, and that, in our opinion, begins with a score of 80 as being indicative of products of

commendation and consumer worthiness.
