Trophy Case

Over the past two decades Mount Pleasant has won several prestigious awards and achieved high point ratings for its wine.

Recent outstanding awards include winning the 2005 Governor's Cup, Best of Show, Best Dry Red Varietal & Gold Medal for the 2003 Norton in the 2005 Missouri Wine Competition, Double Gold Medal for the 2002 Merlot in the 2005 Taster's Guild Consumer Wine Judging, Double Gold Medal for the 2004 Villagio in the 2005 Taster's Guild International Wine Competition, Double Gold Medal for the 2000 Vintage Port in the 2004 Taster's Guild International Wine Competition, Double Gold Medal for the 2003 Rhineland in the 2004 Finger Lakes Wine Competition, a Double Gold Medal for the 2001 Norton in the 2004 San Francisco International Wine Competition, a Double Gold Medal for the 1999 Norton in the 2002 Taster’s Guild Consumer Competition; 92 Points for the 1994 Belle Yvonne Bordeaux Blend and 91 Points for the 1994 Merlot and 90 Points for the 1990 Vintage Port in the Wine Enthusiast. Additional notable awards have included the Gold Medal for the 1986 Vintage Port in the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London, England, and “Best New Discovery in America” for the 1999 Norton by the Wine Appreciation Guild, San Francisco.

Since wine is subjective, there is no such thing as the “best wine.” Therefore, Mount Pleasant Winery strives to be better. While some wineries only “cellar” or “bottle” their wine, Mount Pleasant Winery certifies that their wines are produced on the “Estate.” Their customers can be confident that Mount Pleasant wines are of the highest quality and will compare to the finer wines of the world.
