Tasting- Lost Vineyards Vinho de Mesa Tinto


Name:  Lost Vineyards Vinho de Mesa Tinto
Variety:  Tinto
Region:  Unspecified
Country: Portugal
Year:  Non-Vintage
Price:  $3.95
Review:  Pours a light garnet color with a nice crisp zest, with aromas of cranberries and orange peel on the nose. Drinks smooth with a briary of mild cherries, wild strawberries and raspberries along with a note of rhubarb. Pairs particularly well with wild game and heavy fish such as salmon
My Review:  There was not a big nose on this wine, just a subtle hint of berries.  The color and tannins were also very light.  The taste was light as well, although interesting because I don’t usually get strawberry flavors from a wine.  There were also hints of cherry, petrol and maybe something oaky to added more earthiness.  I wish the flavors had been more powerful and developed, because I think that would have helped this wine a lot. 

I tried this wine without food.
