Free SO2 test
I went out to taste and top off on Sunday afternoon. All is well with the ’10 syrah. The wine in the 30 gallon is already a little smoother if that is possible. Better mouth feel, and a more complex nose. The fruit is not so strong.
The three barrels took 2 bottles of wine for topping! So there has been a lot of evaporation going on. I really need to get the humidity of the cellar up.
I took a sample into Vinquiry for a free SO2 test. We hit 31 mg/L (ppm) free SO2 which is just about where we want it. So everything is good for another couple of weeks to a month.
