I am in a bit of experimenting stage with different grapes, and on a whim I picked up 2 boxes of Ruby Cabernet grapes. I should have done my research a little better beforehand, I found out later these make a fairly generic and mediocre wine. Rather than let them go to waste, I went ahead and fermented them straight up- the juice came in with a SG of about 1.090. They just finished fermenting to dryness overnight, so I am open for suggestions/blends/additions after I press the skins and transfer it to carboys for secondary fermentation/racking.
