Tasting: Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet
Name: Lost Vineyard NV
Variety: 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Argentina
Price: $3.95
Vintage Cellar Review: 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 one, was the first time I could actually without a doubt say it was licorice. Other notes of cherry and a little bit of smoke in the background (might've been the Villa Pozzi though). The tasting of this wine was also the first one where I could say that it had an oak-yness to it, that was really good. A bit dryer than I prefer, but still delicious. The nice, basic fruit flavors were smooth and sort of sat in your mouth for a while.
