Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Juicy, bright and finely balanced. Cranberry, quandong...prominent acidity fruits. Fine, well integrated tannins. It's edge might cut some, but I find it really appealing. This is a wine to drink in quantity at a heavily laden table.
Judge 2	Blackberries and mulberries of the ripe variety here work to enhance the lively structure this wine has to offer. Jubey and bright it errs on being too confected but does have some savoury elements to bring it around
Judge 3	M bright ruby, youthful hue. Fresh dark berry fruit aromas. Savoury texture but middle is quite hollow
Associate Judge	Nose a bit closed off - reductive. Pal has some nice fruit and good structure but doesn't flow.
