Tishbi Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Tishbi Estates Winery Year: 2000 Type: Red Country: Israel (from the Galilee area) Grape Variety: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot Note: Stored in oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. Mevushal: N/A Date Reviewed: 4/7/06
Color: 2 (of 3) Note: The color is a bit weak around the edges. It looks just a tad thin and watery and it tends to lower your expectation of the wine. It just doesn't look like it's going to be full-bodied.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Now things start to get interesting! It smells much better than it looks with a nice light fruity aroma. Very nice! Now we're getting somewhere...
Taste: 9 (of 10) Note: This is an excellent flavor with a very nice soft texture with fruity berries, plums and blackberries and a light flavor of oak. Very nice dry finish thanks to the Merlot. Smooth as silk! This has a wonderful combination of flavors and is an excellent wine that misses a first place score only because the color was less than expected. Otherwise, it's outstanding and has aged very well. Highly recommended!
Total: 17 (of 20)
Food: I had mine with a pasta dish with a homemade tomato sauce with lots of garlic and oregano and it was a wonderful combination. It would also go very well with a grilled steak in the summer or my wifes sweet & sour meatballs.
