We are thrilled to announce that PPW was awarded five medals from the 2020 Savor Virginia Wine Classic! With approximately 300 wineries and thousands of wines submitted, PPW was among the lucky few to walk away with so any coveted medals.
The Tasting was conducted in double-blind flights, each judge recording their findings on sheets printed with a grid of the UC Davis (University of California at Davis) 20 Point System:
- Clarity – 2 points
- Color – 2 points
- Bouquet – 4 points
- Total Acidity – 1 point
- Sweetness – 1 point
- Body/Texture – 2 points
- Flavor/Taste – 2 points
- Bitterness – 1 point
- Finish – 1 point
- Quality – 4 points
We tallied each judge’s evaluation sheet, came up with an average and placed each in one of four categories:
- Platinum: 80% or higher
- Gold: 65–79%
- Silver: 50–64%
- Bronze: up to 49%
