I just had a bottle of this last night. It is still a baby and needs extra time to open up. I gave it about two hours and it was really good. Anyone else still have any left?
I made the RJS Winery Series Super Tuscan about 28 months ago. I kept my hands off 6 bottles and It got alot better. I mean much better. I gave my wife a glass without telling her it was mine. She took a drink and asked by which $50 commercial wine I opened from Walla Walla.(We go there...
Has anyone got anything new to share about this wine. Tasted mine this past weekend and was very happy with it, but it still needs time in the bottle. It is still very bitter and young.
Mine is just about a year old and I can say this is a wow wine. It is big fruit bomb in your face at this point. So far the best red kit I have made to date. Better then the CC Red Mount. cab kit I made.
Would love some feed back on this one. Just tried mine yesterday and it had shut down. My wine is about the same age as yours. Have you tasted yours in the past month?
I have done this with two kits. I used two 16lit red kits and it turned out great. How I did this was made both kits at different times. I then tasted and let them both sit in the carboy for six months. No, I could not tell how they tasted in six months and I don't think you will either...
I made mine 9 months ago without the oak. Man is it good now. I am trying to wait for the one year mark, but I can't get my wife to leave it alone that long. I will buy another one of these kits soon.
Yes, this wine will make the 2 year mark. It will be hard, but agree that it will get better. It still has some green taste, but after an hour it goes away. Trust me, try this kit. I also just sent in an order for the French Grenache Syrah with Syrah skins. I hope this one is as good.
Could not keep myself away from the next bottle I opened. It was calling my name really loud! It is better then most commercial wines in the $30 range. I am starting another one this weekend.
Has anyone made the Zin?
Just opened another bottle. Wow, is all I can say. This wine is one of the best ones I have made to date. Big fruit, with a hint of oak. I will make another one of these kits soon.
