Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Reduction overshadows varietal character and palate interest. Shame, as the palate shape is lovely.
Judge 2	Palest gold in the glass with a hint of green, this wine smells of wet chalkboard, citrus pith, and apples. In the mouth, stony apple and citrus pith flavors have a nice wet-chalkboard minerality and a touch of salinity. Pretty and bright
Judge 3	Slight bruised banana and walnut husk. Quite extracted although saline at the same time, great length.
Associate Judge	stone, cream, muted marmalade nose, med int, simple finish
