Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Red fruited and gorgeous edge of reduction and macerated qualities. Fabulous tannin structure. Balanced on long. Eggy finish. Lacks some concentration.
Judge 2	Sweet red cherry coulee. Sour lean and slightly dry and powdery, pot pouri
Judge 3	Dark ruby in the glass, this wine smells of sweet oak and smoked cherries. In the mouth, mouth-parching tannins coat every surface of the palate and suck every bit of moisture out of the mouth, distracting from the cherry fruit. Simply out of balance and over-wooded.
Associate Judge	sweet caramel. cedar, baking spice, minimal fruit expression, intense acidity and ripping tannin structure. short length
