Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Dull aromas. Looking for more lift aromatically and through the palate. Some bright cherry fruit brings freshness, but there's not enough punch to sit with the tannins.
Judge 2	varnishy oak holds back the fruit leading to an imbalance
Judge 3	Pretty aromas with a solid core of mixed fruits (fresh/dry/jam), mixed spices and touch floral/herb/earth. Medium bodied balanced, solid wine well constructed.
Associate Judge	Moderate oak, spicy and dry herbs, some aldehyde, dry palate need more fruit lift
