“Lively blackberries and cassis can be found in the nose of the 1999 Merlot Cold Creek Vineyard. This firm, extracted wine displays blackberries, cassis, and flavors reminiscent of freshly laid road tar in its structured personality. Its finish exhibits loads of firm yet ripe tannin. Projected maturity: 2005-2010.” – Rated 89, Robert Parker “Ripe and focused, distinctive for its wild cherry and herbal flavors, broadening out nicely as the flavors keep pumping through the firm-textured finish. Drink now through 2006. 3,000 cases made. (HS)” – Rated 90, Wine Spectator |
