Tasting Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon



Name: Lost Vineyards
Variety: Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: not listed 
Country: Argentina
Year: no vintage
Price: $4.95
Vintage Cellar Review: 60% Shiraz 40% Cabernet Sauvignon It is dry and contains subtle tobacco undertones with a black licorice, cherry scent.  The oak is in the background.  Would pair well hamburger or a steak rather than stand alone
My Review: The smell of this wine is fruity.  The color is a nice purple, it’s a little dark.  There is a light peppery first taste and a fruity aftertaste.  This threw me off because usually the fruitiness comes first and the pepper hits after.  I taste a little blackberry tartness.  There is a smoky feel to it, and it seems woody but not nutty even though it is dry and I typically correlate nuttiness and dryness.  It’s a little bit bitter, not too spicy. A little surprising with the flavors and feels of this wine.  Not bad.
