What kind of oak?

[tmmii]

Have a few I need to add oak to, but I'm not sure what kind. I currently have Amarone, Barolo, merlot and cab sauv. All are juice buckets. What kinds of oak do you think are best for each?

Medium French oak cubes are my go-to for most reds. I will 'blend' with Hungarian fairly often as well.

I recommend 4 oz/carboy of Hungarian med toast cubes. age for 6 weeks, taste and decide if you want to go further.
