This was my first RJS kit with grape skins. Be aware, when filling the “grape skin sock”, it can be messy, take your time. I followed instructions and decided to filter before bottling. My last kit didn’t have skins, and had sediment after clearing. I used the Buon Vino filter with 1 micron filter pads and transferred directly into a 6 gal carboy. Read that wine needs to rest for 24hrs after filtering before bottling. We ended up with 30 bottles of wine with enough left in the carboy for 2 test glasses. This wine was really good, and am sure will only get better with aging.

I have not yet made this wine yet but will review it when I do.

I began wine making about two years ago. I have tried several varieties. We had a good Yakima Valley red, but this Trio is the best by far. I just ordered a second kit!

Made this trio wine and it’s been about six months and opened a bottle at Thanksgiving dinner and everyone raved about it, it was delicious especially for such a young wine. It will only get better as time goes on. This wine is a WINNER!

I’ve made several of these Trio kits and it always comes out great. It is in the short list of favorites. Nice grape blend. Good body and balance.
