First Racking of 2011 Merlot

While pressing the Cab, we realized that we pressed the Merlot about a month ago, so it's high time we racked it off of its gross lees.  Went from 6 gallons of must to 4.5 gallons (we were pretty stingy due to the odd acid levels), added 25ppm potassium metabisulfate and put it on oak: 15 medium toast American oak beans.
