More cellar work
Posted in 2010 Moaveni Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2010 Moaveni Vineyard Syrah, 2011 Moaveni Vineyard Rose of Zin, 2011 Moaveni Vineyard Syrah, 2011 Moaveni Vineyard Zinfandel on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 by adminTopped off the ’11 and ’10 syrahs with 2 bottles and a little water, as I have no more of the 10 syrah bottled.
Topped off the ’11 zin with water. The mlf is very close to done. I can barely hear any crackle, and the Accuvin test strips show done.
The ’11 rose is STILL fermenting. The nose is great. Lots of fruit, pineapple. Color is good, a salmon pink color. It is actually still too sweet, but I might let it stay a little sweet.
The ’10 Pinot started showing a ring on the surface in the carboy. I cleaned it, topped it off, and added 10ppm sulphites. It tasted fine. I need to get it bottled soon.
