Destiny Bay Vineyards announced that Gerard Basset, internationally recognized Master of Wine and holder of four U.K. and European Best Sommelier titles, including World’s Best Sommelier, ranked Destiny Bay wines with the finest First Growth French Bordeaux and Italian Super Tuscans.

In a methodical tasting of Destiny Bay’s 2006, 2007 and 2008 vintages, including a barrel tasting of 2010, Mr. Basset reserved special praise for the Magna Praemia
blend stating that in a blind tasting he would have identified the 2006 as an elegant Left Bank Bordeaux, the 2007 as a fine First Growth Bordeaux and the 2008 as a top Super Tuscan.
