I needed a six gallon carboy today so I decided to bottle my Wine Expert Estate SeriesWoodbridge Ranch II Cabernet Sauvignon. It has been bulk aging right at one year I believe. I had brought this kit home from Winestock 1 and made it right after.
I am blown away by the quality of this wine. There is absolutely no way you can tell this is a kit wine. It has a fantastic nose that is definitely those of a Cabwith strong fruit forward signs of the black currant and ripe cherries. A hint of vanilla is noted as well. The taste is unbelievable with a jammy, full mouthful taste experience that goes down so smooth. It is like a taste explosion on the taste buds.
I highly recommend this wine kit. All of the Estate Series kits I have done to date have been very good but I have to say this one exceeds all I have done to date. I can't stress enough to buy the best kits you can afford and then practice patience. It will pay off in the end. While this wine is ready to enjoy now, it has been stored away now for probably another year to reach it's full maturity.
