Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Very good interplay between fruit and solids - reductive characters benefit. Soft, supple, balanced. Complex and phenolic interest. Lacking a bit of concentration to raise it.
Judge 2	Palest gold in color, this wine smells of lemon cucumber, green apple, and lime zest. In the mouth, faintly saline flavors of green apple and cucumber mix with a touch of lime. Softer acidity here than I would like, but pleasant flavors.
Judge 3	Sweet talcy papaya. Lovely pitch perfect ripeness and freshness, modishly saline and slate
Associate Judge	grapefruit pith, apple skins, white florals, saline, stone, med length of lemon and stone, smidge of phenolic grip rounds out tense acidity
