Topping June 5th, 2008

Topped the red wine barrels. All wines smelled good. We tasted the malbec and merlot 1/2 and they both are fine, although they could each use to be racked over copper again.  There was some evidence of MLF--but not much.
 
- We are out of ID cab, so we topped it with Malbec.
 
- We thought the Merlot 1/2 was fine (no defects), so we resumed topping the merlot with it.
 
- We cleaned a 1G platypus for Syrah topping.
 
When we rack we'll move wines around into different barrels to better fit the volumes and balance flavors.
