Well, are they still your friend? (like, what is your impression of the wine?)
What's in your glass tonight?

It’s a blend 65% cab, 25% Merlot and the rest cab franc.
It is bold, a bit strong in the finish but good wine with steak [emoji4]
The one I've tried before was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Malbec 25% & Cabernet Franc 15%. It was pretty good as I remember (it was last summer, I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast at times). It definitely would go well with steak or roast beast served with sauteed mushrooms.
Not only am I new to winemaking but also new to wine drinking. Last night I had my first ever Zin. Brother was it good. A different flavor profile then anything else I've ever had. I have 13 gallons aging now 6 in barrel and 7 in glass. I sure hope it turns like the bottle I bought.
Those may be the actual numbers, I may have read incorrectly.
The wine is good, a bit tannic that may benefit from decanting it a bit, let's see how it tastes today...lol
This wine tastes much better today, soft to the palate and smooth coming down the pipe [emoji4]
News flash: the WE LE14 Super Tuscan is still just "meh."

Sooooo surprised. [emoji12]
The Bravado Super Tuscan is still too oaky. Needs another 6 months on the shelf. But, it's head and shoulders better than the LE14.
Maybe try using particle board next time. I hear that wood is not as strong

I also find it just "Meh" and that is being generous.

Not only mehhhh, like a sheep but
Rather than dropping 3-4 ounces of medium+ cubes in the future, I think I'm going to cut that down to 2 ounces. I can taste after three months and just add more if needed.
@sour_grapes May recall this one, we purchased this same kit around the same time.
Started Jan 2014 and bottled in May.
Finally coming around at 4 years, smells great, tastes really good, very surprised with such a great smell.

Yes, I am very fond of that batch now. Last time I had one, I said to my wife: "This is as good as anything I drink, really."

Last night, had a rather disappointing dinner at Bonefish Grill. But the one bright spot was one of the drink specials: Acrobat Pinot Noir from Oregon.
This is from last night, and it is simply good!
