For no other reason other than laziness, I did not bottle my Carmenare for nearly a year. I had started to bottle, but then noticed it was still very gassy after about 6 months. I whipped it really good, and decided to let it sit, for another 6 months. I just bottled this up and sampled it as I was bottling and am optimistic that it will be good after bottle aging. Should I aim for another year in the bottle before worrying about tasting this wine or will it be good after 6 to 8 months bottled?
The last wine I made I starting drinking the Cellar Craft Zinfandel at about 10 moths after bulking aging for 2 and we were very pleased with the results.
Just wondering what my goal should be for starting to taste this new batch of wine.
