Bought a bottle of Tisdale Merlot and drank it over the week. The Californian wine was on offer at Cold Storage and was selling at slightly less than $14. So I grabbed it without hesitating though I know that those in the U.S. can probably get their hands on this Merlot for probably less than US$10.
Overall, I think the wine is a good everyday table wine. Taste of spices and some berry taste. It isn't particularly sweet but it is overall a good value wine for under $15. Seriously, I am no sommelier, so any wine under $15 is probably a steal for me.
Cold Storage is having some offers right now. So I bought another few bottles to try. Looks like I will have lots of wine to drink over the next few weeks.
In vino veritas.
