Yeast recomendations please

[sdelli]

Doing a crush on Cabernet grapes this fall from California. Any suggestions on yeast strains? I will have two tubs if mixing is a good solution too...

Ferment separately then combine down the road for the best of 2 yeast strains.

I used a BM 4X4, ICV D21 blend on my Cab Sav Juice Bucket, either will be fine though.

My vote is RC-212.

I used BM45 very good, I have also used RC212 that's also very good.

Thanks everyone. Think I may mix two or three of them out and combine...

With Bordeaux reds its hard to go wrong with the napa favorite of d254 and d80

Ferment separately and blend after mlf
