Hello All,
I have a terrific Cabernet Sauvignon (6 gallons) that has bulk aged for a year now. I have developed some patience with my wine making. In the past I would have bottled and drank/given away some of it by now.
However I also just started a Sirah that looks to be coming along nicely. I am considering blending 3 gallons of the Cab with 3 gallons of the Sirah at some point in the next few months. Then letting that age another year.
I would bottle the remaining 3 gallons of Cab and let the remaining 3 gallons of Sirah age another year. My question is this:
Does this sound like a decent blend? A Cab Sav/Sirah? I think it might go nicely but before I ruin anything I thought I would see what you all thought of the idea. I have never blended anything before. Anything I should watch for?
