The wine is very clear, and there was not a lot of lees on the bottom.  Tasting the fined wine side-by-side with the unfined wine, I definitely prefer fined wine. It did smooth out taste without changing it.  Tasting notes for the fined  wine:\u00a0 Nose of bright red fruits with light spice and dust.\u00a0 Wine is  very clear, dark ruby-garnet.\u00a0 Smooth flavors of bright red cherry and  boysenberry with light cedar in medium finish.\u00a0 Good oak in this wine  now.  The unfined wine has similar aromas and flavors, just a little more gripping on the tongue, more woodsey than unfined wine.  I think I will definitely want to fine my portion of this wine before bottling, so I&#8217;ll just need to check with Dave if we want to fine the whole batch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to rack the Petite Sirah off of the egg white fining lees and see how it tastes!
