Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Papaya character coupled with reductive characters detracts from this wine. Grubby. Nice textural element.
Judge 2Palest gold in color, this wine smells of wet chalkboard, apple, and white flowers. In the mouth, floral notes of apple and pastry cream have a bright juiciness and stony minerality. Very good acidity,
Judge 3Green pineapple and citrus orchard, bana blossom. Slight acrid frame, with fresh white nectarine pith
Associate Judgedensely musky, composed body and acid balance, smooth texture very floral, little fruit
