fermenting

[Road King]

Thank you for your response but now I have two more questions. I purchased "house packed" merlot grapes and grinded them last Saturday morning (9/29). As of this morning, the fermenting process had not begun. House packed means that the grapes are cleaner with fewer vines and leaves and possibly washed. Will this effect the fermenting? Does yeast or other additives have to be added? What is the recommended temperature range for merlot?
