I read George's article about oak in the last FVW newletter. I just did the last racking of a Santa Ynez Syrah and I have put it aside for bulk aging. I'm interested in oaking it. I don't care at all for heavy oak"flavor" but I am always interested inadding a little depth or complexity ("twang" in south Alabama speak)to the finished product. This kit came with oak powder that I added per instructions.
Is now the time to attempt this?
What's the recommended proceedure?
This will be a good wine if I do nothing. Do I stand to loose more than I gain?
