Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Quite hot. Dark fruited. Edge of volatility. Oak out. A bit simple. Varietal question.
Judge 2Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of sweet oak and cherry fruit. In the mouth, fresh and juicy cherry and strawberry notes mix with herbs and a hint of meatiness. Excellent acidity keeps the mouth watering, as the oak tannins stiffen in the finish. Nicely balanced as a whole.
Judge 3Smoked red cherry and cherry stalk. Meaty and sweet, Devon
Associate Judgetart cranberry, white strawberry, rubbery, easy drinking structure, but flabby acid quality with no fruit finish.
