Last week, we announced the top wines from the second annual Great Northwest Invitational Wine Competition. This week, we take a look at some of the top red wines from the judging.

The Invite is the only wine competition in North America in which the judges — 16 influential wine professionals — nominate the wines they want to have entered in the competition.

Of those nominations, more than 420 wines were entered, then evaluated during the two-day blind tasting at the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel.

The following wines earned gold medals in the competition. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly.
