Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Red berry fruits with dried herb. Good juicy and fresh. Sweet mid. Some cool fruits and succulent core. Pretty style
Judge 2	Very dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of dried flowers, blackberries, and blueberries. In the mouth, juicy blackberry and orange peel flavors are bright and mouthwatering thanks to excellent acidity. Velvety tannins coat the mouth, as notes of dried orange peel and potpourri linger in the finish.
Judge 3	subtle shy nose. black pepper, dehydrated cranberry. fresh and bright palate, juicy maybe a touch simple.
Associate Judge	developed nose, lovely brightness and structure. red fruit and spice
