The Wine Report's RATING SYSTEM

90 to 100 Points: OUTSTANDING
80 to 89 Points: VERY GOOD
70 to 79 Points: AVERAGE
60 to 69 Points: FLAWED

All wines are tasted blind in our Atlanta office by a panel of four to
six tasters.Qualified tasters must meet criteria set out by the magazine.

The wines are rated on a weighted 100-point scale in four
categories: appearance (5%), aroma (20%), taste (60%) and food friendliness (15%). To gauge a wine’s food friendliness, panelists
taste the wine with roasted chicken for white wines or rare roast beef for red wines. Once the tasters have completed their sensory
evaluation of the wines, they are given the price of the wines so they can determine whether the wine is an exceptional value, overpriced or neither. In case of a tie, the editorial staff makes a determination.

Tasters are not allowed to change their comments or scores once the prices have been announced. Wines are selected based on their availability in the Atlanta, Charlotte and Birmingham areas. In most cases, the wines reviewed are available in at least one of the three cities. The prices listed are suggested retail prices provided by the winery, winery representative or distributor.
