Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
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	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.
Judge 3	Sweet red cherry coulee. Sour lean and slightly dry and powdery, pot pouri
Associate Judge	sweet caramel. cedar, baking spice, minimal fruit expression, intense acidity and ripping tannin structure. short length
