Font ResizeLAS CRUCES - After tasting and evaluating more than 350 Pinot Noirs from across the nation, the judges of the 9th Annual Pinot Noir Shootout and Summit have awarded a silver medal to New Mexico's DH Lescombes 2009 Pinot Noir.
With over 350 types of Pinot Noir considered, the panel of judges said that the competition was fierce, and expressed amazement that there were so many stellar wines. Rusty Gaffney, one of the judges and the undisputed 'Prince of Pinot', commented, "They used to say consistently good Pinot Noir was an oxymoron, but it has become a truism!" DH Lescombes 2009 Pinot Noir will take part in the Grand Awards Tasting, a blind tasting of 64 selected finalists by the attendees of the Pinot Noir Showdown.
DH Lescombes 2009 Pinot Noir is made by Southwest Wines of Deming, the largest winery in the New Mexico.
