Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Some nuttiness lurking beneath ripe, fleshy fruit. A slight salinity running through it, some smoky, quartz minerality too. Lovely, lively acid crunch trough the finish
Judge 2	Spiced apple and dried chamomile flowers on the nose work to create interest in this wine. Fruit intensity in the mid palate pushes the dimensions of this wine. A more full bodied style but with poise and power.
Judge 3	M straw, some CO2. Ripe citrus. Coarse phenolic palate, medium acidity, clunky
Associate Judge	Slightly flat, pal has good acid but doesn't have fruit to push its length. Finishes a bit shorter than i'd like.
