Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Dark berry fruits, weight and drive, again complexity is a little lacking
Judge 2	Pretty, floral lift cherry, very juicy and fine tannins, food wine as barbera should be
Judge 3	All things in place here - a touch of confection on the palate, but the tannin/fruit balance is what we expect of the variety.
Associate Judge	toasty inviting aroma. candied strawberry, violet, orange pith, CM, bubblegum
Associate Judge	Rich nose, ripe and intense fruit of the forest quality. Driving sweet tannin line, filled with chocolate. Maybe a hint of VA on finish
