Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Violet lozenge: too overwhelming. Verdot? Tastes better with distinct loganberry pips and tight tannins.
Judge 2	floral, rose petal, mulberry, licorice and spice density yet elegance on nose. Delicious Turkish delight, mulberries, brambly, firm forward powdery tannin, muscular. Great density and poise, bright acid backbone. Super drink
Judge 3	opaque, heavy extraction - white pepper and raspberries, garlic flowers, lavender, gravelly lift - semi carbonic? great. palate is lifted and full of integrated spices, healthy fruits and gravelly notes. can't go wrong. great vineyard treated right.
Associate Judge	Lots of violet and red cherry lift. Fresh juicy with lots of jube fruit. A bright and juicy wine carrying a bit of heat and punch
