Racking

We racked the ID Syrah off the Gross Lees today. It has some rotten egg smell so we added 20ppm meta and racked it back into the barrel over copper

 

We racked the ID Cab off the Gross Lees. It smells great.

 

The Malbec is better, but still smells. We added 20ppm meta and racked it out/in over copper.

 

We found that the 15G Hungarian barrel had WA Cab in it....still on the gross lees. Ooops.  We racked it and added 20ppm meta. No problems detected.

 

We still need to rack the Merlot off the Gross lees, sometime in the next 2 weeks.  The Syrah and Malbec need to be checked in a couple weeks and racked again.

 

All barrels were topped.
