About the Wine: Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wine makers in the world, with labels from France, Spain, and North and South America. As is often the case with good makers, Rothschild makes many different brands and has underbrands that can be purchased on a hipster budget. Los Vascos is the Rothschild version of an inexpensive South American Cabernet Sauvignon.
About THIS Wine: The center is dark purple with a blood red rim. Oak and cassis are prominent on the nose and those flavors deliver on a fairly tannic palate that ends in a dry finish with light spice.
Drinking This Wine: Not bad for a dark sipping wine. This would also work with pork steak or burgers. It is important to let it breath for at least half an hour and preferably an hour after opening.
Overall Impression: The wine is cheap, versatile, and tasty. At twelve dollars a bottle it is a good value.
