Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Nice fruit and spice. Pink grapefruit. Some nice texture through palate and fresh acidity. A little hot on the palate.
Judge 2 Pale to light gold in the glass, this wine smells of pastry cream, apples, and pears. In the mouth, apple, pear, and pastry cream notes layer on top of chalky minerality. I'd like some more cut here if I could, just a touch sharper.
Judge 3 Attenuated ripe mango VA lift. Fructose feel over slippery ripe mango cheek
Associate Judge spice, pear, lemon, apple, green mango. rich body, just enough acid to mix, med length
