I would like to make a blend with a 33 % Red zinfandel, 33%Merlot and 33% Syrah. I would like to get the results to replicatea store bought blend we are fond of. I thought I might use the RJ Spagnols International series: Primitivo ( Red Zin) , Syrah and the Merlot kits. These are all 12liter kits . I thought I would need to start each kit on the same date then when all three were ready to bottle I could do a taste test and make the blend to taste. I know it will be somewhat hit or miss.
Has anyone else tried this type of experiment? What about blending prior to fermentation andend up with two 6 gallon batches . 3 x 12 = 36 plus 10 water = 46L.
thanks
