It finally happened after 4 years of wine making. I bottled some Merlot in Oct & I've noticed that the bottles have sediment in them. Probably didn't wait long enough to let it clear. Lesson learned.

Should I open & pour them all in a carboy and add Super-Kleer? Is there a device I can use to clear the sediment when I pour? Will the sediment effect the taste of the wine? Does anybody have any tips they can pass on. Thanks

Some of our best wines have had varying amounts of sediment. As long as it doesn't bother you too much, I'd let them be.
