Elegant and refined, Master Vintner® Merlot yields six gallons of wine featuring complex flavors of cherry, plum and currants.
Deep, juicy aromas present bright, fresh fruit. Flavorful notes of strawberries and raspberries intermingle with hints of ripe currants for full-bodied yet easy-drinking red wine. Pairs well with red meat, cheese and game dishes. Master Vintner™ Merlot develops prominent notes of smoked cedar wood when aged with oak (not included).
Yield: 6 gallons

Excellent taste & easyI just started using wine kits and this is a good one. Beautiful color & taste. Ended up with 14.8% ABV so it’s definitely one to sip and enjoy slowly. Thumbs up!- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Great MerlotVery fruity, full body wine with a smooth finish to the back of your palate. Out of the box alcohol content is a little low around 9%. I added 2 pounds corn sugar and 1 pound table sugar to bring ABV up to 12.5%. Perfect!!- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Master Vinter MerlotThis is a good kit. I will say a lot of bang for the buck. This wine was ready to drink at bottling… and I did. The yield was better than average. I normally get 25 or 26 bottles from a 6 gallon kit, but this one yielded 28 bottles plus a full glass. I used the oak chips that came with the kit which rendered a pleasing and barely discernible hint of oak. The tannins are virtually non-discernible which appropriately suits my palette. Again, this kit is a good investment.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

I have an unforeseen time conflict and don't want it to go to waste.BEST ANSWER: Yes. I have brought these kits now for several years and have some sit for 60 days with no issues. I would take the yeast package out when the kit arrives and put it in the refrigerator. Stone the kit in a cool place.

Do I stir everyday during primary fermentation?BEST ANSWER: Yes, that's recommended. Make sure to sanitize the long handled spoon. I have done that many times with no problems. But be careful. Don't stir too vigorously or the wine can foam up and overflow, depends on the primary fermenter. I use the 7.5 gallon bucket so I don't have that problem.- Reply
