Tasting- Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Lost Vineyards Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 60% Shiraz, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: Non-vintage
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: The color of this wine is a dark red, with a brown-ish hue. The nose of this had a rubber scent, along with nutmeg and raisin. On the palate I found this wine to be silky smooth, a little bit of spice and heat on the mid-palate, but finished dry and smooth again (no heat on the finish). I did not try this with food, but commenting on the "winery review" above, I think that this would be good with or without food.
