Tasting - Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 60% Shiraz, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Unable to find information
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 hamburger or a steak rather than stand alone." Vintage Cellar wine notes

My Review: Hot, hot nose very a very oaken must. A very heavy, big bodied wine a lot going on from start to finish! Very nice, dark red Argentinian. The driest of the bunch left me with that almost "I need to go brush my teeth because there's a film all over them" feeling. Not sure I picked out any tobacco but I sensed a strong dark berry flavor. I agree that it would go well with a tapas meal but then again what wouldn't?!

 I sampled the wine without food.
