This recent release hadn’t made its way past the Harris family’s wine club when it earned its first gold medal in early October, which made it a late qualifier for the Platinum — where it impressed judges again. It was the third Platinum this year for Larry Harris with this early-ripening clone, and this youthful example shows off notes of red plum, cassis, tomato leaf, leather and caramel. Soft tannins and spicy undertones make for a zesty finish. Qualifying award: Great Northwest Invitational (gold)
