Appleman,
Yes, it is a IM Merlot. I tasted it at racking and it is very sweet. Maybe a bit to sweet. The last one I made was an IM Mango and it was not nearly this sweet. I think next time I will cut back on the F-Pack and add a little sugar. This is the first Pinot G. that I have made. I am hoping it comes out as good as the some of the ones I have sampled at some of the wineries.
Nico,
Thanks, we will see how the color stands up in a few weeks. Time to throw the old T-Shirt on them.
