Judging Results

Judge 1Light red colour - rose like in appearance. Not a bad wine, but out of class? If designed as a light, pretty Primitivo - OK
Judge 2noveau style, sweet red berry fruit, light and juicy but a bit weedy and alc burn on end
Judge 3Lighter, 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 Judgeslight earth herb, strawberry red fruit, slight lean mid.
