Cold River Vodka (750ml) Muscadelle This beauty needs some time

This beauty needs some time in the cellar

which in the parlance of the time meant sweet

creosote and charcoal in an incredibly complex fragrance

While it drinks beautifully young

but less richness and intensity than I noted seven years ago

Cold River Vodka (750ml) Muscadelle This beauty needs some timeThe 2001 Merlot (a 6,354 case blend of 94. 3% Merlot and 5. 7% Cabernet Franc) exhibits fragrant aromas and flavors of espresso roast, coffee beans, smoke, chocolate, and loads of berry fruit. Dense plum ruby in color with a hedonistic personality, this is a heady, full bodied wine to drink over the next 7 8 years. This is a top flight single vineyard wine aged completely in French oak, which is in total contrast to the wines made at Silver Oak.
