Jerry , we had or Cab come out at 16.9 also , and our petite sirah come out
at 16.6 .
High alcohol , but yet it is still balanced and what a fruit bomb it is . In
oak now and getting better every week .

I use both of Margolit's books, and do use his equation when looking for
a ball park expectation of PA.

As an aside, our Cabernet Sauvignon alcohol this year is 16.59%. That
was a shocker. For those who are interested, it was fermented using ICV
D21 yeast.
