Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Briar and black olive. Medium weight. Balanced. Hightone oak
Judge 2Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of cherry and herbs, earth and citrus peel. In the mouth, fresh and juicy cherry and herb flavors mix with oak and earth. Fine-grained tannins have a suede quality and remain nicely supple. Excellent acidity. The oak pokes out a bit in the finish but will likely integrate nicely over time.
Judge 3Sweet baked red cherry and sage. Lovely acid pitch with a nice slate driven acid and ironstone
Associate Judgered cranberry, red cherry, ripe fruit, cedar, pleasant medium intensity. driving acidity, in balance tannins, med length of red fruit and cedar. yum.
