We did the final clarification racking on the 2 barrels and SS keg of merlot today, including adding 10-15ppm meta. Merlot is tasting good!
WA Malbec is smelling/tasting fine. Last racking over copper took care of it.
We checked the SS Keg of Sangio that had the oak dominos. The bung wasn't in tight and the wine is exposed to air. There is an off flavor and smell. Hard to say if it's just from the oak dominoes. We're afraid it may be spoiled. We racked it and added 30ppm meta and removed the wood. The SS Keg has been marked as BAD SANGIO. We should not blend this with the other super tuscan. We'll watch it to see if it stabilizes.
We still need to do the final racking on the cabernet and ID Malbec. If we want we could skip the 2 barrels that will be "reserve" for now and rack them in the Spring before bottling (to save time now).
