On October 19th I started two batches of wine. The first one is a mixed berry from frozen fruit (blueberry, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry). The other is a Winexpert LE 2013 Limited Edition South African Shirz-Cab blend with skins and seeds. I was supposed to pull the straining bags after seven days, but procrastinated and just pulled them today. I stopped expressing liquid from the raspberry bag when I noticed an astringent aroma. Otherwise, all other bags didn't present any off-smells. I plan to let both batches settle over night and rack to my secondaries.
Questions:
1. Have I outright ruined either batch?
2. Is there anything I need to do to deal with any off-flavors/smells I may have inflicted on either batch?
