Racked
We started at 7Am and racked the wine off of the fine lees and Cu precipitate.
The nose was totally cleaned up; taste is still a little harsh, but it should smooth out over the next few months.
We topped and tasted the rest of the wines. The port has become much better in just a few weeks. The ’11 syrah ’11 zin were really good. I thought I might have tasted a little oak. I will taste again in a few weeks, and see if that is indeed the case. If so, we may need to find some neutral oak.
