Tasting - Charles Shaw (Two Buck Chuck) Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: California
Region: Ceres

Year: N/V
Price: $3.49


Wine Review: 
Good nose of red cherry and dusty chalk, but a little too much vegetable, followed by some nice cherry, citrus and floral notes in the mouth. Light tannins, mid-acidity and a medium to long finish.

My review: Strong notes of cherries and plums.  Very jammy mixed with shoe leather.  This cab sauv resonated as either a cherry poptart or a cherry popsicle..weird. I'd still probably try other varietals from "Two Buck Chuck," but my lasting opinion is that any wine that can achieve something or some semblance of uniqueness for $2-3 is worth trying.

I had this wine without food.
