Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Dark fruited. Savoury...edge of underripe character. Balanced but lacking intensity. Green on finish.
Judge 2	Medium to dark ruby in the glass, this wine smells of wet earth, cherries, and herbs. In the mouth, juicy and bright flavors of cherry, earth, dried herbs, and citrus peel have excellent acidity and a skein of muscular supple tannins. There's a hint of brown sugar in the finish.
Judge 3	Sweet stewed artichoke, stewed black cherry, black earth. Bright, slight green edged, yet chalky
Associate Judge	restrained but abundance of red fruits, cranberry, red cherry, red plum skins. harsh acid palate, short underipe cherry finish
