Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019
Added 2 cups sugar – SG 1.112
Pitched yeast 01/18/19
added both oak powder packets
Bottled 02/18/18 – tasted horrible (as expected)
Final AVB 15.75% (a bit too high)
2 weeks later not exactly bad but definitely not good.
03/25/19 – Now we’re coming up on a good table wine.
I think at 3 months this stuff would stand up to a $20.00 a bottle grocery store wine.
And yes I recommend.
I’ll be ordering another one of these kits in a few days.
Don’t believe the “4 week thing” because it’s basically undrinkable at the 4 week finish time.
2nd review California Cabernet Sauvignon
Ok here it is. I bottled one of these kits in Feb. Taste not so good. In March, a lot better but no blue ribbons. In April much better. Nuther bottle in April 11th that I decanted for one hour, fanfreakingtastic!!!
I’ve got a second Wild Grapes Cabernet Sauvignon in the primary and as soon as I rack it to a glass carboy, I’ll start another.
Bottom line. This stuff is great young, after about two months but you gotta decant it for at least 1 hour.
