Name: Lost Vineyards
Variety: 60% Shiraz, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: NV
Price: $4.95
Winery 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.
My Review: On the nose, this wine has some strawberries and blackberry, but definitely some earthy undertones. The flavor of this wine was very surprising because I expected it to be much more of a fruit bomb since it is mainly a Shiraz from Argentina, so you would assume it would be made in a "New World" style. However, it is actually much more "Old World" in flavor, having a lot more earthy tones on its own, with the fruit being brought out more by food. Overall this was a very decent wine and I bought it because it was relatively cheap. I did have this wine with food and it was definitely enhanced since it was made in an "Old World" fashion. I paired the wine with a feta dip and pita bread. The saltiness of the feta cheese definitely brought out the fruits more and I got much more strawberry and grapey flavors.
