3/6/11: We moved the 2009 reserve cab off wood into stainless and glass. We will blend it with a little 2009 malbec and/or merlot in April. We added 15ppm of meta to offset oxidation from racking. Lee's 30G French barrel is rinsed and drying. It needs to be sulfured after drying for a week.
We combined a smaller barrel and SS Keg of WA Syrah and put it into Ray's newest American oak barrel and then moved the ID Merlot from SS and glass into the small wood barrel. We made a point of transferring some sediment/lees for MLF food. We need to order ML cultures and get that started. We could use a couple more of the larger "red top" breathable bungs.
We topped and checked all wines. All the wines are sound with no sign of HSO2.
