We made the "old" Eclipse Marbourl Sauvignon Blanc and really liked it, but are hammering though it during the quarantine, so needed another batch. Thought it would be a good opportunity to try out the new Private Reserve.

Followed the instructions to a T on both, no modifications.

I'll let you know how they compare in about 18 months!

Bubbling along nicely, seams to be running a bit hot ~75F, but it's in the basement with the heat off, so not much more I can do.

MG, fermentation is an exothermic reaction (producing heat) so you would expect the wine temperature to be greater than ambient. The numbers seem fine to me.

I am interested in seeing your results. Good luck and keep us informed.
 
The eclipse is my wife’s favorite wine that I make. Looking forward to your comparison!
