I have a Vitners Reserve Pinot Noir that is in step 3 for about a week. Looks like it is clearing very well. This is my first kit and last night curiosity got the best of me as I was degassing a World Vitners German Meuller. While I had the wine thief out a stole a small taste of the Pinot Noir and it was tart and appeared to be very thin. First taste of a wine kit and it is very early. I know I have to wait and let it age. You just don't know what you don't know. I have been planning on back sweetening as my wife likes reds that are a little sweeter. I planned on using a simple syrup for doing this. I then saw on "The Wine Maker's Toy Store" a "Red Grape Concentrate - Gives wine more body, flavor, aroma; For RED wines". Has anyone used this before and advise for or against? Based on the description additional sweetening would still need to be done.
Now its back to work so I can afford upgraded kits.
