TASTING NOTES If Merle Haggard and Neil Young had ever released that metal record it would be playing on this electric/coal hybrid train as it blows through the California deserts, heavy with blackberry cola sorbet on a quest for the coast: granite talus, smoked black cherry, ame kissed gingerbread village, crispy blueberry sage handpie, road tar and lightning struck oxen.
