Just tested my cab Sav that I made from a frozen bucket. I was not able to test prior to fermenting and putting thru MLF.... I just got my test equipment. The ph was 3.51 and acid at 7.1.
I'm still new to this so the avid test was probably not spot on. I did test 2x so it's probably close.

Are these numbers good. The acid seems high. Should I do anything about it
This is my first attempt at frozen grapes

Close enough. Don't mess with it.

If you can cold stabilize you can drop a little more acid and raise the pH a bit.
 
I agree with Mike. Now is not the time to mess with it. When I first got my pH meter I wanted to adjust everything to the hundredth too but you have to let the wine be if it's close and has no taste flaws.
