Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	M ruby. Herbal red fruit. Thin middle, edgy acidity, quite sour with grippy tannin
Judge 2	Extracted and whacked with oak this wine defies varietal typicity and is too soft and directionless for a variety that is known for its structure and drive.
Judge 3	Slightly overburdened with sweet fruit plushness. Lacks a little mid-weight charm.
Associate Judge	dense berry fruit, meaty, sweet spice. Pal is powerful tannins sit really well, good balance, retaining brightness while still have deep fruit.
