Default Residual grape colored stuff on glass/carboy?

I'm just about to bottle a Foch made from 2005 grapes. Two weeks ago I fined
with egg whites (10ml in 20 ml warm water for 6 gal Carboy).
I racked last week. The wine appears clear. However, I noticed some grape
color residual stuff on the neck of the carboy. I haven't noticed this
before. I also noticed it the bottom of my glass after tasting the wine.

What is this? Do you think it is a result of egg whites?

It still tastes good.....just the appearance is of concern.

It doesn't sound stable yet. If the wine looks clear, it's odd that it
would leave a film like deposit in a poured glass. I have Syrah's that
leave a film on the bottle over time, but never saw anything leave a
film behind in a glass.

Maybe you should consider another light fining treatment, I usually use
sparkoloid on reds.
