The Judgment of Charleston

On May 24, 2016, Mira Winery marked the 40th anniversary of the legendary Judgment of Paris at our Tasting Room in Charleston, SC, with a blind tasting of eight highly rated top wines from Napa Valley and Bordeaux. The wines included two previously 100 point rated wines, according to Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate, from both Napa Valley and Bordeaux. Eleven judges from across the country gathered to compare these top wines and consider the stylistic evolution of the two regions since the Paris tasting.

Mira Winery’s entry was its Cabernet Sauvignon Schweizer 2012, a limited selection, small production single varietal wine grown in one of the oldest and most exclusive vineyards in the Napa Valley. In the blind tasting with top Master Sommeliers, Advanced Sommeliers and wine experts from around the country, Mira Cabernet Sauvignon Schweizer Vineyard bested some of the greatest wines from the Napa Valley including Screaming Eagle, Schrader To Kalon and Shafer Hillside Select.
