Well, splash racking seems to have saved the day. The wine no longer stinks like rotten eggs. It tastes a little thin this year. Not sure why. I will either need to blend it with something to give it a little more "oomph" or just live with thin wine. I lean towards not standing on "I'm only going to use my own Pinot grapes" and more "I want to make really good wine using my Pinot grapes". Perhaps a beefier Pinot, or maybe even a bottle of something more substantial.
But we'll have to see what it tastes like in a few months, after some toasted oak staves and time have had their chance to work some magic.
