Well, it seems that no matter what resolutions we make on crush day, we always bottle too late.
This morning we tasted the three cb's of Muscat. Much better than a month or two ago when I thought we might toss it. Color is fab - dandelion, that's a photo of it from this morning. Initial pretty intense floral nose, but it dissipates in 15 minutes or so - too bad. We found variations in the carboys and found that if we blended the wine and let it sit a little the acid wasn't as whack and the the mouthfeel was pretty nice.
So we decided to rack and blend everything, losing a couple or three liters in the process. We backfilled with some of the wine we bottled very early from this same making. (We went to backfill with one of the remaining 2010 bottles but found it metallic.)
We'll let it settle through the week and bottle for the June party.
