Great kit

Spending a little extra for this heavy bodied kit is well worth the price. This turned out really good, looking forward to it after some aging

Love it but like to tweak it.

Kits are very consistent and easy to use. But I very seldom make the kits straight up I will add things like pure cocoa powder, cinnamon sticks, pepper corns and even dried hot peppers often during the initial fermentation but sometimes while aging in carboys. Use small amounts like maybe a couple of tablespoons of pepper corns for subtle but very delightful hints of flavors.

Fast Delivery

Product received promptly. Haven't started the batch yet, as I have other Wine Lovers kits on the "go", fermenting as they should. Have previously made the Merlot, and found it very good. I enhanced the must with American Oak chips - and will do the same once I start this latest batch.
