With six wines and seven judges, the selection of Meridian was unanimous as the winner. There was significant debate over the rankings, but the results tallied up as:
1st Place: Meridian ($6)
2nd Place: AbbeyVille ($13)3rd Place: Apex ($17, 91 pts)
4th Place: Trellis ($6)
5th Place: Duboeuf Pouilly Fuisse ($18)
6th Place: Dingo ($10)
Despite finishing last (Four 6th place, two 4th place, and one 2nd place votes), the judges commented that all the wines were very drinkable. Dingo was described as, "A classic chardonnay: full bodied, oaky and buttery." While it may not have been the style prefed by the judges, the buttery character of Dingo was created by the "sur lies" technique used in the making of the Chardonnay. If you like heavy Chardonnay's, a "winter white" as one judge called it, you'll love the Dingo!
