Tasting- Lost Vineyards

Name:  Lost Vineyards
Variety:   60% Shiraz, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:   Several
Country:   Argentina
Year:   Non-Vintage
Price:   $4.95

Shop Critic:  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:  This wine was extremely dark red-brown in color.  It had a sharp, full bodied, aroma that reminded me of chocolate covered cherries.  The mouth feel was incredibly dry and chalky.  Not a "wow" wine for me.  

I drank this wine on it's own with no food pairings but I could see how this wine would be delicious with a big steak!
