2024 Houston Rodeo Uncorked Reserve Class

Prescription Vineyards Takes Home Reserve Class Champion at the Houston Rodeo Uncorked! Wine Competition

Everything’s bigger in Texas – including the wins! We’re raising a glass (or a big ol’ Texas-sized pour) to celebrate Prescription Vineyards 2021 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which just snagged Reserve Class Champion honors at the legendary Houston Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition. That’s right – our bold, fruit-driven Cab stood tall among the best, proving once again that great wine and great rodeos have more in common than you’d think: both require skill, dedication, and a little bit of swagger.

What Makes the Houston Rodeo Uncorked! Competition a Big Deal?

Texas doesn’t mess around when it comes to wine. The Houston Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition is one of the largest and most respected wine competitions in the country, attracting wineries from all over the world. Judged by a panel of industry pros, this competition highlights wines that deliver exceptional craftsmanship, balance, and complexity – and our 2021 Prescription Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon fit the bill.

Meet the Champion: Prescription Vineyards 2021 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2021 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse. Sourced from the renowned Alexander Valley, this wine delivers lush dark fruit flavors, velvety tannins, and a long, smooth finish. It’s bold, structured, and made for the kind of meal that leaves you needing a nap afterward – think Texas-style ribeye, slow-smoked brisket, or a rack of mesquite-grilled ribs. This award-winning bottle is a perfect match for anyone who loves their wine as big and bold as their state pride.

A Tip of the Hat to Rob Lloyd

Behind every great bottle is a great winemaker, and Rob Lloyd is no exception. His approach to winemaking is all about crafting wines that are expressive, fruit-driven, and downright unforgettable. Prescription Vineyards has always been about precision and passion, and this award is just another reminder that Rob knows how to create wines that turn heads – whether in Napa, Texas, or anywhere in between.
