Wine Review:
Aroma - dark fruit, raisins, hot. Taste - dark fruit. An okay Cabernet Sauvignon.  -A review from http://sassywinebelly.blogspot.com/2011/06/jbs-mystery-wine-party-18-red-wines.html (I couldn't find any other review of this wine, so I settled for this one)

My review:
Smell - This wine smelled of dark fruits like black cherry. I was surprised because I expected this wine (a Cab) to be really aromatic, but it wasn't. It just smelled ok. There was not a lot going on in the glass on the nose. 

Taste - This wine was slightly tannic at first. I wonder if the age on the wine (6 years) made it less tannic than normal red wines. Anyway, I got some of the dark fruit flavor on the palate with some dark berries. I also got a hint of vanilla. Overall, this wine didn't have a lot of flavors. I was a little disappointed.


I tasted this wine with some cheeses. This is where this wine really shined. The wine blended so well with the cheeses, like other red wines. It created a creamy, full body in my mouth blending the fruit and cheese together.
