I have a Merlot (from frozen grapes) that has fermented out, I have aged it almost a month letting the lees settle.
This is my first time using grapes (must). I have always worked from juice, and I have never used true wine grapes.
I am a bit of a purist, in that I don't like to add stuff to my wine (sulfites, etc.). I am not so stubborn as to being unwilling to change.
As you might be able to tell from the title, my wine has a bit of a sour finish. I am kind of thinking this is going to "age" out, but I am not sure. I just wanted to get some of the more advanced/experts opinions here.
I also have a Cabernet Sauvignon that is just finishing fermenting. It too is sour, and so has me a little bit concerned. The sour is not overwhelming, but just a little "off putting". Not enough to make my wine "bad", just it would be a lot better without the sour taste.
Suggestions, PLEASE...
Thank you.
