Tasting - Tisdale Cabernet Sauvignon


Tisdale Cabernet Sauvignon
Modesto, California
No vintage listed
$4.95
"With flavors of ripe blackberry and plum, our experienced winemakers have crafted this cabernet sauvignon to an enticing, full-flavored wine with medium body and an impressive finish."

My opinion: The nose is a little harsh at first, but becomes softer with a few more whirls. The wine is blood red in color, very dark. The body is very thin and the wine is very smooth, with a somewhat sweet aftertaste, which is unusual for a red, and especially a cabernet. After a while, there is a distinct smell of dry wood on the nose. When paired with a habanero cheddar, the wine dulls the pepper at first, but then really accentuates the after bite that the cheese has.
