Vineco kenridge classic pinot noir 10L

[cheesehead]

Good morning to all, My question is regarding the quality of the kit that i inherited today. friend says its been sitting for 4 or 5 years in basement. the code on box is 69483 6338 0217 with an expired pack of EC-1118 yeast at 8/2009. will a new yeast pack bring this pinot to life or should i toss it, the concentrate appears to have a very slight brownish tint to it but it smells ok and tastes sweet thanx for any info

From the production code you provided, the kit was made sometime early December 2006 (the 338th day of 2006).

Give it a try... what have you got to lose except a bit of time and the cost of a packet of yeast?

I've successfully made batches of wine that were two years expired, so as long as it tastes and smells good, it warrants an attempt.

Hope that helps.
