Yesterday I racked 8 red wines that I started last May. most were very clear, it was hard to see more than just slim coating of lees if any. 2 had more noticeable amounts. I drained all of these nearly clear lees into a 1/2 gal jug which was just big enough to hold them. It will be interesting if this amounts to anything in a few weeks when it resettles. The batches were
3 Zinfandels
Chianti
Super Tuscan
Merlot
Malbec
Pinot Noir.
I did not try sampling it after combining, but all were tasting pretty well before racking.
