Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Volatile. Hightone oak.
Judge 2Very dark garnet in color, this wine smells of oak and cherry fruit. In the mouth, cherry and black plum mix with vanilla and oak and green herbs, as supple but drying tannins coat the mouth. Excellent acidity keeps the wine fresh, but the oak sticks out a bit.
Judge 3Oxy flat cola. Oxy scalped, cherry cola
Associate Judgeintermingled ripe blueberry and blackberry with oak spice. nice firm structure with acid to balance fruit that remains ripe and has good length
