Default a ? about sediment after blending 2 wines

I need some advice. I had 2 perfectly clear reds from 2006...a
cabernet which was a bit too acidic, and a blend of other reds that
had a higher pH. I blended them to get a less tart wine, but within
1-2 days, I noticed that the blend developed a precipitate. The wine
tastes great, but my question is how long I should wait before
bottling. It's been about 1 week after I blended, and it's impossible
to say whether the precipitate is increasing.

In other words, I'm assuming that the change in pH caused the
precipitate, but is that now finished? Or do you think I should
wait? And if so, how long?

Thanks,

Lee
