This wine ended up surprising me. Initially, once ready for bottling, the nose was off - almost chemical-like. The taste was quite pleasant, however. After spending a few weeks in the bottle, the nose cleared up and I was left with a very nice product. Light on the nose and palate. More translucent than traditional cabs.

I did note that after primary fermentation, the oak pieces that were provided were pushed up the side of the vessel during the fermentation process. This limited the exposure of oak in the wine. So, while bottling, I filler only 12 bottles and put the remaining quantity back into a glass carboy and put a medium toasted oak stave in with the wine, letting it rest for another 4 weeks. I bottled this volume this past weekend and was very pleased with the result. I will do this for all future batches.

In the end, this is a do again with adding the stave once “ready for bottling”. Again - it was very nice without it once given enough time, which was a couple more weeks.

I will purchase this again. Hope this helps.

Very decent for a cheap kit, originally bought it just to get my feet wet making wine but even young it's pretty drinkable, I expect it'll be even better after a month or 2 in the bottle

5.0 out of 5 stars Follow instructions, sanitize everything and enjoy.

I followed the instructions to the letter with excellent results. I had a hobby job as a brewer for 9 years which gave me a healthy respect for sanitizing equipment. I used a wide mouth glass carboy for secondary. Iodophor sanitizer for everything; spoons, tubing, racking parts, vessels. Rubber gloves for handling anything wet. I even put the powered oak in 180 degree water to sterilize. I washed the bottles with bottle brush I chucked up in a drill using commercial glass were sanitizer from restaurant supply. I gave the bottles a final sanitizing in the dishwasher sanitizer heat only cycle. I have excellent sand filtered well water with low hardness, I don’t think I would use city processed water, probably try different drinking waters. I would not use deionized or distilled water. Water and sanitization is your only control so important to read up. Like others I was disappointed at bottling, 2 weeks and 4 weeks. I put it aside for 2 months and was pleasantly surprised at the results. For my results I think 3 months will be just right.

Took up wine making recently and thought it would be a good idea to gift home made wine to family and friends. While I haven’t perfected my recipe, Wild grapes has. They had easy step by step instructions to follow for any beginner and is a great way to sharpen your technique for those that are already into the hobby. Wine turned out amazing and I will be buying from here again to fill up my cellar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020
I was hoping for a few individual bags, but it is one 6L bag. I ferment a few gallons at a time, so luckily the cap reseals beautifully. The ratio of water to concentrate is NOT 1:1 like recommended... that produced 1.140 and above on the hydrometer. I found that a mixture of 250mL concentrate to 750mL to 3/4 gallons, measure specific gravity, then add straight concentrate in increments to desired 1.110. Great flavor. Make sure to pair with the right yeast, as diacetyl ruins the flavor of this concentrate.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd review California Cabernet Sauvignon
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019
Added 2 cups sugar – SG 1.112
Pitched yeast 01/18/19
added both oak powder packets
Bottled 02/18/18 – tasted horrible (as expected)
Final AVB 15.75% (a bit too high)
2 weeks later not exactly bad but definitely not good.
03/25/19 – Now we’re coming up on a good table wine.
I think at 3 months this stuff would stand up to a $20.00 a bottle grocery store wine.
And yes I recommend.
I’ll be ordering another one of these kits in a few days.
Don’t believe the “4 week thing” because it’s basically undrinkable at the 4 week finish time.

2nd review California Cabernet Sauvignon
Ok here it is. I bottled one of these kits in Feb. Taste not so good. In March, a lot better but no blue ribbons. In April much better. Nuther bottle in April 11th that I decanted for one hour, fanfreakingtastic!!!
I’ve got a second Wild Grapes Cabernet Sauvignon in the primary and as soon as I rack it to a glass carboy, I’ll start another.
Bottom line. This stuff is great young, after about two months but you gotta decant it for at least 1 hour.
