I hope to get 6 gallons of Merlot and 6 gallons of Cabernet Sauvignon this fall with the intention of making a bordeaux style wine. My understanding that bordeaux has more ingredients than just those two, most often cabernet franc. I am thinking of using all 6 gallons of CS and 4 gallons of merlot.
If I were to add some CF, it would have to be only about one, maybe two gallons. I may be able to get a quart of petit syrah concentrate to make 1 or 1 1/2 gallons.
I do enjoy commercial cs/merlot blends but I was thinking adding something else might make a big difference.
What is your opinion.
Thanks.
