THATS CORRECT ,WITH FONTANA KITS THE BODY AND ABV. ARE ALL BOOSTED WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT BY JUST REDUCING THE BASE VOLUME,THE ISLAND MIST KITS NEED TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE DO TO THE FACT THE FPACS THAT COME WITH THEM ARE HIGHLY CONCENTRATED YET THE ABV WHICH IS AROUND 1.08 CAN BE WEAKENED BY THE SWEETNESS OF THE FPACS.THAT'S WHY I BRING THEM UP TO 1.10.THE CRU KITS ARE AT THERE BEST JUST AS THEY ARE WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF TWEAKING,ESPECIALLY THE BLENDED ONES.SO YOU SEE IN MY OPPION THEY ARE ALL WINE KITS BUT NEED TO TREATED DIFFERENTLY DO TO THEIR KIT STRUCTURE.GOT IT!:h

Got it, thanks.
 
wineforfun

spot on with the malbec, at the cost how could you go wrong, I mean really a great everyday wine at least I think so.:db. next time add a small fpac of red grapes to the primary that will take care of the body .

I have always like the blends that RQ,puts out in there restrictive quantities, this is one of them a blend of Tempranillo,Grenache & Cabernet blend, sound interesting I thought so ,so here we go, a few tweaks as always doesn't matter to me the cost of the kit I make it my own but still stay with in the frame work of the base ..follow my flow.:h

Joe,

That is La Batalla blend, did it really bring a dried skins pack?
The info on FVW says no grape pack.
Can you confirm it came with one?
