Syrah/Malbec/Clone-6 Pressed

We pressed the Syrah, Malbec and Clone-6 Cabernet tonight. We pressed the Syrah and Cab pretty hard and the Malbec moderate. We're out of carboys and need to bottle last year's Malbec to free up the barrel and carboys.
 
Syrah:  68G Must and 48.5G of wine. (71% yield)
- 30G Hungarian barrel
- 12G carboys (plus 6.5 G went home with Jim).
 
Clone-6 Cab:  56G Must and 38.5G of wine (69% yield)
- 30G French barrel
- 8.5G carboys
 
Malbec: 38-40G Must and 27.5G wine (69-71% yield)
- 15G American barrel 
- 12.5G carboys
 
We also racked the Merlot off the gross lees.
