Altoona Hills Cabernet/Shiraz 2007 13.5% alcohol about $10

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Description : Good concentration of blackberry, plum, new leather, toasty oak and cassis. Dry and fruity with good body and weight. A great choice for your very best gourmet hamburgers or grilled steak. Tasting Note : Medium ruby red color; aromas of cooked blackberries, plum and spice, dry, full-bodied, rich, with flavors of plum, spice and red berries. And now for my review.
Shiraz grapes in tasting cheap wine

At the first sips this red blend showed great balance between acidity and fruit, mostly plums. It had fine oak. My first meal was a boxed vegetarian lasagna containing ricotta and mozzarella cheese. I slathered it with grated parmesan cheese and found that the wine gained intensity.
