RJ Spagnols Carmenere Kits

[sdelli]

I never made this wine so I cannot say I would like the taste.... 6 months is very young. I say let it age as it is.... Maybe with a oak spiral. See how it taste in 6 months. Probably don't like that type of wine... I made a Syrah a year ago... It taste just like Syrah.... But I don't like Syrah! I am using it for blending. At a 10% blend level it adds a nice taste.... In 6 months or a year you may find this to come around for something like that.

Problem is that I love carmenere, and this isn't a "young" taste. I do know what that tastes like.

Think I will bottle it in half gallons and let it sit. I need the carboy freed up.
