I have a cap on my siphon I put in the sediment and it takes from right above my wine. Never had a problem.

You will lose some of the wine. Its part of the process, not to worry!

I recommend using a 5/16" Auto-Siphon seen here:
Regular 5/16" Auto-Siphon - Tubing & Siphoning - Fermentation Equipment - Wine Equipment - Click here
or lower tubing 1 inch off the bottom of the Fermenter (Bucket or Carboy) and siphon into seconary containment.
Yes you will lose some wine in this process but the sediment contains high amounts entrained, or suspended, Tannins from the Fruit's Skin. Too much will tart the wine and leave an unfavorable after taste.
