Black Iris Regent 2023

pitted wild cherries, wild blackberries, dried elderberries, hand destemmed uncrushed homegrown Regent grapes on RC212 with nutrient left in a corked bottle 1/2 full on my fridge for a week.

Here are my tasting comments:

Appearance - inky purple

Smell - very pleasant intense Marzipan aroma (tannin aldehyde?)

Tannin - good

Acid - good

Flavour - unique and interesting of a type I've never except perhaps in red vermouth or dubonnet
retaste:

Chardonnay Muscat 2023

This is a 50/50 cooler carboy blend with Sheridan Chardonnay fermented with V13 yeast and my homegrown Siegerrebe-Ortega Muscat blend fermented with 71B yeast. My son in law loves my muscats and I gave him a case of mine which he used to make this blend.

Here are my comments:

Appearance - clear lemony yellow

Smell - good nose - buttered popcorn and muscat

Tannin - good

Acid - good

Flavour - this is very good, not excellent but certainly very good. This is a one of a kind Washington Chardonnay, homegrown Siegerrebe Ortega blend with a nice finish. I have 13 to age in my cooler.

Flavour - this is slightly flat for me but very fragrant and tasty. My wife really likes it so its hers. She scores it a 9/10.
