Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Well handled fruit, with good line of textural interest. Balanced. Light to medium frame. Lacks intensity/complexity to raise.
Judge 2 Palest gold near colorless in the glass, this wine smells of white flowers and salted citrus pith. In the mouth, crisp flavors of lemon pith, unripe apple, and winter melon are stony and bright with good acidity. Somewhat lean, but with a somewhat incongrous creamy texture.
Judge 3 Minty menthol, note over slate and salted lemon. Green menthol edged, touch hallow, crunchy asparagus spears
Associate Judge lemon, saline, nashi pear, white florals, med intensity. acid in balance with body. lacking some length, but pleasant lemon apple finish
