2001 Ferrari-Carano, Eldorado Noir

It has been a while. How about a wine post?

We went out to dinner with some friends the other night. Afterwards, we came over to our house for some drinks. What did we whip out? Well, we had this bottle of dessert wine sitting in our cellar for years: a black muscat called Ferrari-Carano, Eldorado Noir, 2001.


What is a black muscat? It is a low alcohol desert wine made out of red muscat grapes. It had slight tannins that you might expect from a red grape. And the flavor? Well, everyone who tasted it said the same thing: blueberries.

There you go: a wine post, for a change.
