Other Red blend recommendation

We made our Mystic last July! It's still young so we're impatiently letting it age *sigh*...the bottles we've tried at 3 and 6 months are very promising though!!

That's good to hear!
Mine arrived today. Can't wait to get it started!

True, but, as winemakers, we can control the final residual sugar!

That's true, but I think I'll make it according to spec. The 19 Crimes commercial wine that I like has a SG of 1.002, so maybe slightly off dry is what I've been searching for.

I have the Trio Red aging now and they still sell it. The blend is Cab Sauv Syrah and Zifandel although they don't mention the percentages. Sampled it 2 weeks after clearing and it's pretty good at such a young age. Plan on bulking for 8 months before bottling.

Thanks for the tip! Where did your SG finish?
