Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Poppy and bright; lighter tannins, good acidity fresh fruit and a simple style but it works.
Judge 2	plush and pippy, leanness in palate, some bitterness
Judge 3	Nice, bright and juicy. A slight herbal edge which unfortunately lets the wine down a bit. Presents as a seaweed character. Excess shading or a particularly cool year?
Associate Judge	white pepper, tight fruit, some charry leesy character, nice texture and finish
