Both my red mountain cabs were awsome, done two years apart. I wish they still made this kit. It was different than any other cab I've tasted though.

Ordered mine today< be two weeks till my LHBS gets it in, $145 Canadian pesos :mny
He said he could have received it in an order he got in yesterday but didn't think it would be a good seller so he never ordered any . He couldn't stop talking about how good the stags leap Merlot has been...
I'm so excited to get this kit as this grape is my all time favorite to make wine with :HB
