Can anyone weigh in on either or both of the Alljuice and Masters Shiraz'?
I'm thinking about doing a Cote Rotie blend with 8% or so Viognier (thinking about the Cellar Craft Viognier because I hear great things about it).
I'd bottle half of it straight up and the other half I'd try the blend out.
I'm relatively new to kit making and tend to enjoy your typical $10-12 commercial wines that rate 88+ points (although I know that ratings can be very suspect..so I use them as a guide only).
Any thoughts on what the quality difference would be between the AJ and Masters in general? I'm thinking that the Master's might take 3 or so months longer to come around? I'm planning on not cracking the first bottle for at least one year from start. Wel...best intentions anyway...
.
By the way, just sampled my AJ CDPwhich is only 6 months old. Wow...lots of great character in that one. Very impressed so far!
