WineXpert Triumph add grape pack or raisins or nothing

[tonyt]

Just got the WE Triumph 16 ltr Washington blend. Came with no grape pack. But I do have the Mosti Meglioli Nebbliolo that has raisins and grape pack. I am not going to add both to the Neb so how do yall suggest I mix and match my juice/raisin/grape pack options?

Nebblio grape pack or raisins?
Triumph grape pack, raisins, neither?

I can make legitimate arguments for all of the above.

Grape pack, NO raisins!

Adding to the mix

It came with the juice they had and idea of what the final taste profile should be ...the choice is yours. Just because they choose raisins to add structure doesn't mean you'll taste them in the mix...

so i think i will save the grape pack for the Triumph. That leaves the Neb with the raisins that came with it. I doubt i would leave them in more than four days or so. Or just 86 the raisins and order another grape pack? I havent added raisins in ages, kind of gor tired of the aftertaste they were leaving.

That is my feelings as well Tony. They work for Amarone but not much else.
