That does seem a bit high, but not out of reason. Many commercial reds
are in the neighborhood of 3.8. Remember though that there are a bunch
of factors that play into the overall "impression" that a wine makes
and how well that wine is preserved. If you may find that your home
made wines, left with a higher than average pH, will be out of balance
or won't keep well in the cellar.
