2023 New Jersey Wine Competition Reviews

White Horse Winery 2022 Estate Rosé Outer Coastal Plain
91 points
$22
A fairly powerful Rosé that remains approachable but shows the underlying Cabernet DNA and will be at home with all manner of grilled foods.
Cape May Winery 2021 Estate Grown Red Field Blend Cape May Peninsula
91 points
$35
A very likable Bordeaux blend with surprising rose petal notes.
Cape May Winery 2021 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon
91 points
$40
A leaner and greener tannin style of Cabernet Sauvignon, but a good substitute for a cool vintage Grand Cru Bordeaux table wine.
