Domaine Della 2023 Soberanes Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir Takes Top Prize  November 18, 2025 — Winners have been announced in the 2025 Harvest Challenge Wine Competition. After two spirited days of judging, Domaine Della 2023 Soberanes Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir took the top prize. It was also awarded Best of Show Red Wine and Best of Monterey County AVA. Coming in at 98 points, judges praised the wine as “warm and spicy” with “fig and nutmeg.” Other descriptors included “meaty,” “prosciutto,” and “dried rose petal.”  With entries from across the globe, the Harvest Challenge bases judging on a group of vineyards (or even vines) from the same region, belonging to a specific appellation and sharing the same type of soil, weather conditions and grapes that combine to give personality to the wine.  In other competitions, this terroir is ignored.

Tasting room guests aren't looking for just a pour – they're craving understanding and a deeper connection to your brand. Your guests want to know why your Pinot Noir vineyard is in a completely different location than your Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard.

The Missing Visual Link When your visitor has trouble picturing the reasons why location matters for your wines – especially out-of-town visitors - a custom-designed and branded map of your vineyards provides the visual connection they're missing. Your map becomes a powerful educational tool that works 24/7 – showcasing your vineyards in the various AVAs or highlighting blocks on your Estate
