    Other A Kit Worth Waiting For???

    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. As for a good wine to wait on.... cellarcraft amarone, stags leap merlot, old vine zin..... pick one and enjoy. Or perhaps do all three...

    WineXpert Winexpert LE Fortitude

    I bottled my fortitude today after 1 year bulk aging. This is very tart and not very fruity, no nose and a bitter finish. I hope another year in the bottles makes it better. Anybody else taste theirs recently?

    Just bottled mine today and couldn't be more disappointed , you summed up my experience to a tee. On a positive note, we also put the mosaic red LE into bottles today at one year and it is fantastic!

    RJ Spagnols Super Tuscan Recommendations?

    Just tested my 9 month old WS Super Tuscan. Not to bad , but it needs more time I think. I preferred the CellerCraft Rosso Fortissimo . To me the RF was more fruit forward. Will give the WS more time and see if it opens up a bit with age, it seemed very tight and closed at this point but I have...

    RJ Spagnols Super Tuscans: En Primeur versus Winery Series

    Just bottled my WS super tuscan after 7 months in bulk aging today. Sampled the left over glass and its a very nice wine. Al ittle bit grapey at this point with a perception of slight residual sweetness but a nice pleasantness to it. I'm sure another 7 months in the bottle will smooth it out...

    Ive done a cellar craft amarone and a cellercraft LE nebbiolo(barolo) and the Rosso fortissimo Hands down my favorite is the Rosso Fortissimo But I really like the Nebbiolo and the Amarone too! And just to be clear , there are many of the kit wines i've made that I'm not too fond of.
