Default Differences in sediment

I was racking some Pinot today following cold stabilization (Finally!
Some real cold weather here in the Pacific NW!). I noticed that some
of the carboys threw a much heavier sediment that the others. They've
been handled identically, other than the grapes with lesser sediment
were picked about 10 days earlier. The original Brix/acid numbers are
about the same on the two groups. Both groups were racked following
primary, and haven't been racked since. They've both gone through ML
since being racked. Both groups are Pinot Noir, don't know about
clonal varieties.

So, not that it matters that much, but more out of curiosity, any ideas
why one set would throw more gunk than the other?

Rob
