2010 Howling Good Red
A while back, I mentioned that I kept half of each barrel of the 2010 Lodi Zinfandel and the 2010 Yadkin Valley Syrah for a blend. The blend (dubbed the 2010 Howling Good Red) ended was initially placed in 6 carboys, ranging between 5 and 6.5 gallon in size. Today I combined a majority of it into two demijohns in order to make the blend more consistant. The overall quantity is 34 gallons. I tasted it today and am quite pleased with it. It will be about 14.5% alcohol by volume and should be well balanced. I plan on bottling it in a couple of weeks. It will make up about 14 cases of wine.
