Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	very ripe concentrated and dried fruit. prunes and plums. simple and primary.
Judge 2	Some reduction interest. Ripe sweet fruits with herbal edge. Bigger more solid framed with mouthcoating tannin - just a little dusty
Judge 3	Very dark garnet in the glass with purple highlights, this wine smells of black cherry, black tea, and black plum. In the mouth, plush and ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors are nestled into a velvety glove of tannins with very good acidity and a hint of citrus peel and dried herbs lingering in the finish. Somewhat soft and plush, but pretty nonetheless.
Associate Judge	sour cherry, raspberry jam, spice, acid lift, length and intensity
