Still in process however instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. As with all recipes I’ve tried I fully expect this Merlot to be very good.

The wine kit was purchased to make a desert style wine (more like a ruby port) and not as intended by the directions.
My primary fermenter was filled to only 4 gallons. SG was 1.12. I let it ferment to 1.01 and added 3 cups of sugar. Once my SG was back to 1.01 I transferred it to my secondary fermenter. At five weeks in the secondary fermenter I added a clarifying agent, sulfate and a chocolate sweetener flavoring. Tasting before adding the sweetener and bottling was a very smooth semi-sweet Merlot and only slightly dry wine. (Very good in my humble opinion unless you like extra dry)
With that said my goal was a chocolate flavored dessert wine which it turned out unbelievably good. I bottled at about eight weeks

Just finished making a batch. It's excellent!

I thought this was pretty good when I bottled it. Tonight, I opened a bottle that was a year and a day after bottling and this was one of the best bottles of merlot I’ve ever had. You will not be disappointed

Delightful results from an inexpensive kit. Master Vintner weekday wines fill the bill!
