Malo-lactic fermentation having started, the next step the winemaker is strongly considering is pressing the cab sauvignon, (possibly tomorrow) while leaving the merlot on the "lees" a little longer. The new bladder press is promissing gentle squeezing, so let's hope the 2007 vintage will be drinkable.
By the way, congratulatuions to the Wine Club: You all guessed that the Seavey was a Cal. Cab; beyond that we were not so sure, but we all liked the first three. The Clos du Bois had no friends, however, earning a miserable 2. What do you expect for $179/ bottle, anyway? Uncle N, you cannot use this one for coq au vin. Uncle Piroca is treating us next week to Chateau Petrus, 1992 and Screaming Owl, 1997 (not to be confused with Screaming Chicken, the best wine ever produced).

You are forgetting that Uncle N also idenitfed Leviathan as Califronia Meritage but mistaken Clos Du Bois as one of not-so-good Italian (Toscana).
