Posted by: rjholtmus2 Thursday, December 02, 2010 5:56 PM What a delightful wine. I just bottled this today and it is wonderful. I am sure that with age it will improve even more. This is my 2nd kit, first from Spagnols, but centainly not my last. I thought there was going to be a problem with stuck fermentation, but it we worked through it with no problem. I was a little disappointed with the lower alcohol level so I enhanced it with 1.75 liters of Vodka. After I added back the reserve taken to allow for the flavoring I wound up with of 33 bottles. I am going to do a Cabernet next. My only problem is I can't wait for them to age before I start drinking. Oh, well, that's the way things happen. This is definitely one I'll keep around.
