Overall Score 84
Judge 1 Dark cherry. Warm red to plummy squishy fruited solid commercial nose. Bright and red, medium weight punter friendly, kind of wine that gets people into the variety. Good
Judge 2 dark colour, herbal edge, sl sour finish, tannins well managed, sour finish
Judge 3 wild berries, touch of stems and green stickiness. dried herbs and dried florals. bit hot on nose. vanilla sweetness. red fruit leading to syrupy. a little sapid and simple, lacks freshness and grip but would be an easy drinker for a number of consumers.
Associate Judge Volatile lift, perhaps a dank barrel. A sappiness to mid pallet. High alcohol
