Tasting - Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 60% Shiraz, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: N/A
Country: Argentina
Year: NV
Price: $4.95

Shop Review: It is dry and contains subtle tobacco undertones with a black licorice, cherry, scent. The oak is in the background. Would pair well with hamburger or a steak rather than stand alone (Vintage Cellar). 
 
My Review: The nose of the Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon was quite tart. I picked up strong notes of cherry, as well as hints of licorice. The taste of the wine was tart and dry as well. It ended with a bit of a burnt aftertaste. As the shop review recommends, this wine would certainly have been better with a meal. Along with trying it with some sort of red meat, I think this wine would be paired nicely with an Eggplant dish.

Food: N/A
