| Judging Results |
| Bronze |
| Very hot. Over on all fronts. |
| Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of black cherry and earth. In the mouth, earthy notes of herbs, cherries, and a touch of molasses are wrapped in muscular, fine-grained tannins that are slightly drying. Excellent acidity and length, with a faint umami note in the finish. Maybe a touch too much wood here, but not imbalanced. |
| Smokey struck terracotta, dried sage and oregano. Innately slatey and salty, good extract |
| just ripe red fruit, cedar, spice, clean tart fruit expression, tannin out of balance, a little disjointed - hole over mid palate |
