Wine: Morro Bay Central Coast Cabernet 2002
Cheese: Morbier
Pocket hemorrhage: $8.99
The expert/marketing take on it:
Morro Bay Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the vineyards of Californias central coast showing ripe opulent fruit. Delightful cherry, blackberry and currant flavors finish with black-pepper and toast from 9 months of ageing in French and American oak barrels.
My take on it:
Mellow wine with a slightly sharp taste, possibly due to the black pepper. Given the vintage I checked with the boys at home. One of the guys declared 'watery', which told me he meant 'mellow'. I detected the faint aroma of blackberry and I forced myself to smell the currant but I couldn't smell the cherry for the life of me.
Overall, a decent wine.
One for instant consumption, not for that rare event storage.

hahaha Pocket hemorrhage! hmm.. 9$? All I ever got for that price range was a cheap 'table' wine.
but then,
I found this and now I regularly buy cheap wine with the intent of processing it to Indian style 'Masala' Wine ;) (Also meant for immediate consumption)
Try it
That's cuz you're probably talking Canadian dollars, which would translate to USD 4.5 or something?
$4.5-6 wont get you decent wines but if you begin to hit the $8-15 mark, you actually do begin to get decent ones...but not good pinots.
Wines, in some stores, are pretty inexpensive in the US
