LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The results for the California State Fair and The North Coast Wine Challenge are in, and Lake County's Shed Horn Cellars received several prestigious awards.

The California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition is the oldest and most prestigious judged wine competition in the nation.

With more than 2,500 entries from more than 600 wineries, the competition is so large it takes place prior to the State Fair.   

The North Coast Wine Challenge took a fresh approach and broke from the tradition of awarding gold, silver and bronze medals.

Instead, wines were designated the ranking of best of class by category (level 3), best of county (level 2), and ultimately the best of the best as top award.

Shed Horn Cellars is proud to present their winners in these prestigious wine competitions:

• Double Gold/Best of Class of Region (98 points) – 2010 Shed Horn Cellars Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon.
• Gold/Best of Class of Region (95 points) – 2010 Lake County Non Typical Red Wine.
• Gold (94 points) – 2012 Shed Horn Cellars Lake County Sauvignon Blanc.

NORTH COAST WINE CHALLENGE

• Double Gold/Best of Lake County (96 points) – 2010 Lake County Non Typical Red Wine.
