My WOTN! Blinded, I instinctively centred in on an Italian red and was thinking along the lines of a blend from Tuscany. I just felt it had some Cab inside and right I was, but wine was pretty far off from Tuscany. A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Cab Sauv, and Cab Franc from Veneto. Wildly aromatic with notes of blackcurrants, plums, dried herbs and flowers, and traces of wood. The palate was fresh and quite plush, with some sour cherry notes and mineral nuances giving it plenty of energy. Absolutely banging with smoked beef and pork ribs. Note the happy baby in the background.
