Wine Ratings & Awards
Gold Medal, Best of Class, 90-point plus - what do all of the ratings mean? A premium wine receives a premium rating, and at Hunt Cellars, our bottles have been given numerous distinctions in areas across the country. Wine connoisseurs recognize the Hunt Cellar name as a symbol of premium wine.
