Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Light red colour - rose like in appearance. Not a bad wine, but out of class? If designed as a light, pretty Primitivo - OK
Judge 2	noveau style, sweet red berry fruit, light and juicy but a bit weedy and alc burn on end
Judge 3	Lighter, fresher style of Zin/Prim. Perfumed with some light red fruits. Good core of fruit although would like to see some more fruit sweetness for that style.
Associate Judge	slight earth herb, strawberry red fruit, slight lean mid.
