Judging Results

Overall Score 83
Judge 1 M- ruby, slightly dull hue, hazy. Leafy veg fruit aromas, on the green side. Disjointed palate. Soft middle but green acidity cutis in then green tannins dry the finish
Judge 2 Orange oil with a campari hit, a brighter style of CF, lots of tart cranberry and bright fruit. Nicely woven tannin, slightly rustic around the edges. The sourness becoming quiet harsh at the finish.
Judge 3 Washed out colour. Leafy and slightly sour edged.
Associate Judge Herbal characters, sour cherry. Pal has nice acid brightness, would like some more fruit intensity.
