Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Lots of mint and menthol spice. Chocolate cherry and vanilla. OTT
Judge 2	Medium to dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of dried flowers, oak, and herbs layered over dark red and blue fruit. In the mouth, nutty toasted oak dominates blackberry and orange peel flavors, lending a faint salinity. Too much wood however, with freshly sawn logs dominating the finish. Subtle tannins.
Judge 3	minty oak overt and sitting ontop of fruit, drying on the palate
Associate Judge	red fruits, menthol on the nose sweet oppulent fruits, lighter weight, nice finish and soft tannin
