Milliarium Cellars Strikes Double-Gold
Winery wins medals with their inaugural wines
Santa Rosa, California – Milliarium Cellars is proud to announce the bestowing of double-gold and silver medals upon their Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noirs. These inaugural wines received this honor in the 2009 West Coast Wine Competition.
Although a new kid on the proverbial block, Milliarium Cellars is clearly carving out their own space in the boutique wine industry. “From our inception, our focus has been on creating wines of distinction and high quality,” states John Zielinski, proprietor of Milliarium Cellars. “These awards validate our commitment to the pursuit of perfection in a glass.”
The Milliarium Cellars 2007 Sonoma Coast selection, sourced from the small Split Rock Vineyard, offers a well-balanced wine showcasing flavors of strawberries, raspberries and cherries with an acidic backbone perfectly harmonized by lush tannins and a lingering finish on the palate. Notable for its black fruit aromas, the 2007 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills couples flavors of cola and spice, complemented by dark cherry undertones, with bold tannins and a pleasing structure.
The 2007 growing season is being heralded by many in the wine industry as an exceptional year for California Pinot Noir.
