Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Bright fresh and varietal. Blue fruits and violets with some black fruit compote on the nose and palate. Tannic finish lacking a little richness across the palate.
Judge 2	Youthful. Plush red fruits. Firm, building tannins, quite chalky. Balanced intensity: sweet and macerated ripe fruit with bright acidity. Not overwhelmed by oak. Voluptuous and plump, but cut by acid drive.
