Livermore, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 27, 2009–In America’s largest wine judging, Corbett Canyon 3L Premium Cask Merlot (non-vintage) won Best of Class for Merlots below $15, according to the 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Over 4,700 wines were entered from 26 states a gain of nearly 1,000 entries since 2008.
“This result mirrors what we have heard from consumers and the wine trade,” said Laurie Jones, CMO of The Wine Group, parent of Corbett Canyon vineyard wines. “We are so pleased that Corbett Canyon 3L premium cask which contains 4 bottles of wine for a modest $10 SRP beat Merlots priced at up to $15 for just one bottle. To say this is extreme value, is an understatement,” she added.
“Consumers are looking for quality in box wines and it’s finally here,” said G.M. Pooch Pucilowski, prominent wine judge and co-founder, Lodi International Wine Awards. “It’s a great day for consumers when the best category wine is also the best value in the market,” continued Pucilowski, who was one of the judges of the 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
Corbett Canyon Merlot is medium-bodied with deep blackberry aromas and a soft, satisfying finish. Its smooth flavors are a great complement to grilled pork chops, braised lamb and roast chicken.

Thanks for the article. I’ll have to try Corbett Canyon out sometime.
Handy for a ‘glass of red’, essential for cooking stews, etc…not an exciting wine perhaps, but it’s tasty, it’s affordable. The box will keep it fresh after opening for 45 days or so. What’s not to like?
how many carbs and calories in pinot gregio
Nancy,
I did a quick Google search for wine calories (I’ve never thought about it until now!) and it looks like a 5 ounce glass of Pinot Grigio has around 114 calories and 4 grams of carbs.

When I have a dinner party I serve Corbett Canyon, my guest are so pleased with my selection they call me the next day asking for the name of the wine.
