Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Red fruited with black edges. Olive tapenade. Deep, dark, dense. Clean. Good balance and tannin quality. Outstanding.
Judge 2	Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of somewhat cooked fruit and a hint of miso. In the mouth, however, a nice balance of umami and berry flavors mix with herbs and a touch of dried citrus. The tannins are slightly drying here, but supple. Decent acidity.
Judge 3	Slate, ironstone and blood and bone. Lovely cherry blossom and dried cherry sin, innately savoury and long
Associate Judge	muted stems and undefined fruit. just ripe fruit expression, bitter green tannin edge, med finish
