red blend ideas

When I was in Tuscany, I went to several wineries. They were blending in more like 5% Merlot and Cab each. I did that with my Sang. It gave a better mouth feel and smoothed out the edges.

What kits do you plan on using?

My local store sells the Wine Expert kits, there base line kit seems to be what I will use, that way I can have enough for the blend and possibly enough for a few bottles of each

That’s really interesting, I have about 30 sang vines, 2 merlot, 2 cab franc, and 2 mourvedre. I was wondering what the hell I was going to make out of it all, straight Sang, all in, hadn’t really come across too many posts with similar blends. So in your experience the others will help smooth it out, and hopefully help the colour?

All the wines I blended where no less than two years in a barrel. There is such a difference from only one year to two or even three years.
