I've been lazy. I bottle the last of the 2022 wines in late November, and have been sporadically labeling & capsuling the wines. I finally got off my duff and finished it today.
From left to right:
Tempranillo
Tempranillo blended with 5% Rhone Blend; we tested the blends and liked both the straight Tempranillo and a slight blend, so we bottled both
Merlot/Tempranillo, which was a FWK Tavola Merlot kit fermented with the Tempranillo pomace
Grenache; the plan was to blend with the Rhone blend to make a southern Rhone, but we liked the Grenache as a solo wine
Melange de style Rhone; 25% Rhone blend in the Grenache
Merlot/Grenache, which was a FWK Tavola Merlot kit fermented with the Grenache pomace
The Rhone Blend is 1 lug each Mourvede, Syrah, and Petite Sirah.
