The votes are in and we have 4 winners. The 2011 St. Urbans Hof “Piesporter Goldtropfchen Spatlese” Riesling edged out the CDP. They will tip off against the 2010 Shafer “Red Shoulder Ranch” Chardonnay who defeated the Wagner Riesling Ice. The 2011 Belle Glos “Las Alturas” Pinot Noir ran away from the Phelps Sauvignon Blanc. They will face a big challenge against the 2009 Chappellet “Signature” Cabernet Sauvignon. Like before, please vote for your favorite 2 wines below in the comments section. I have made it easier to read the reviews, by linking to the final four contenders above. The voting for this round will continue until March 26th at 10 PM EST. Good luck to our 4 finalists!
