Poopitivo racked & oaked; 2008 Cab S. tasted

We forged ahead and racked and oaked to Poopitivo.  Lori is grossed out by it and I kind of like it.  Racking was really only to help get it off the little sediments it was on with the hope of lessening the barnyard odors.

We also took the opportunity to pop open the 100 liter tank of North Fork Cab S from 2008.  A little brown around the edges - oxidized, just don't trust that tank - with not a big nose, but much more tamed and tasty than in prior tastings.  No reason not to have some at the summer party, and Lori thinks we ought to blend some of it.  Did not taste the 2 carboys  of Peter's batch of this wine..

We're going to rack the Poopitivo one more time

Lazy us, we were going to oak the Primitivo  today with medium toast American oak from Barrel Mills - and at the last moment we decided to rack it one more time.  So we'll do that tomorrow morning when we have a bit more time and less sun. 

Barnyard nose is the driver - though I have to say that, personally, I kind of like it.  Am thinking of doing a new label that makes the point.
