4.6 / 5.011 ReviewsWonderful!!! Would 100% recommend!This batch of Merlot came out amazing, I however do not follow the instructions. I don't bottle after a month. I add a specific amount of potassium metabisulfite in addition to what they provide in the kits, and top up and let it sit in the car boy for roughly 12-22 months racking three times over that period and leaving oak cubes in it for a majority of that time. And then bottle. Never had a bad batch and I have 10, 6 gallon carboys and have been making wine for 4 and a half years now. But this batch of Merlot is for anyone who like a smooth dry red and mine had a light nutty flavor! Wonderful kit!

Excellent MerlotWe don't usually like Merlots because they are typically light-bodied, and we refer heartier reds. But this kit proved to be excellent. Ages very well.- Was this review helpful? Yes (3) No (0)

Merlot in my dreamsThis is my first attempt at a wine kit. Everything was well described and the steps are explicit. So far the wine tastes great (before bottling) and I am looking forward to trying it with some age on it. This kit contained charred oak chips which I think improves the syrupy floor of the merlot grape juice, making it a lot more "professional" flavored.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

Have my merlot in a carboy, it's only day 25, but I'm planning on keeping it there for at least six months. My plan is to transfer back and forth several times while keeping oak cubes in the infuser with it. My goal is to see just how much of an 'oaky' flavor I can get.- Was this review helpful?
