We’re thrilled to tell you that Lost Oak Winery submitted the 2016 Cabernet Franc to the 2018 San Francisco International Wine Competition and it has been awarded a Gold Medal! Congratulations to Lost Oak Winery for winning a total of 6 medals, we couldn’t be happier to have our grapes in their capable hands.
A Gold Medal wine is described as: “An exceptional wine that is near the pinnacle of achievement in its category; sets the standard for all wines of its type” and the during the competition “judging panels are provided with information on varietal and vintage, but otherwise receive no information that might bias their decisions”.

It is with mixed emotions that we must also report that the 2016 Cabernet Franc is sold out. It’s wonderful that it is in demand but it can lead to frustration for folks who wish to purchase it but miss the window of opportunity. The 2017 Cabernet Franc has been bottled and will be released sometime this year. As soon as we hear that it is released for sale we let you know. For out of state fans we’ll try to include the link for online ordering as soon as possible.
A big thank you to the many family, friends, and fans who have been rooting for us as well as those supplying harvest labor, we couldn’t do it without you!
