The Yakima Synergy is clear enough that I’m not going to filter it for bottling.  It came out great!  I did leave about 700 mL at the bottom of the carboy that had some sediment and poured it off into a separate bottle to clear a little more.  Tasting notes: Very faint nose of apricots and blossoms. Very clear, pale gold in color. Flavors a little harsh right now, with acidic edge that leaves the tongue feeling like sandpaper. This one will need a lot of cellar time.

The Riesling, however, did need some filtering.  It just wasn’t clear, but I didn’t want to wait to let it clear with bulk aging – we’re running out of summer whites!  I set up a 1 micron inline filter, but the last 6 bottles did not seem to filter completely.  I actually uncorked these and tried to refilter, but the gunk would not filter out.  Oh well, another lot of wine to keep for home drinking.
