Super Tuscan Thoughts

If we end up bottling a super tuscan now, for storage reasons, here's what it would look like.

 

For reference, our last super tuscan was a field blend of 56% Sangiovese, 33% Cabernet and 11% Petit Verdot.

 

The current Super Tuscan "base" is about 52G of Sangio and 25G of Cabernet.  That's about 68% Sangio and 32% cab.

 

If we end up bottling early for space, we'll also need to empty a 15G SS keg of Merlot.

 

We have 5G of Petit Verdot.

 

52G Sangio   54%

25G Cabernet  26%

15G Merlot  15%

5G  Petit Verdot 5%

 

For a total of 97 G of Super Tuscan!  That's 8 cases each!  (So we had better like it!)

 

I think that's a reasonable blend, but we'd have to do a taste trial to see what we think.
