Tonight's wine is another relic from the cellar - it's a 2007 cabernet sauvignon from Italy's Tenuta Sant'Antonio vineyards, located in the Valipolicella winemaking region east of Lake Garda. We served it with homemade barbecue spare ribs (in the slow cooker) and some glazed carrots.
It had a faint aroma of alcohol with no other discernible flavors. It's a dark red in the glass. At first blush, there's a soft alcohol taste with some cassin tastes. That flavors sort of drops off after a second or two, with a finish of dark fruit skin with an aftertaste of fruit juice (I mean, it was fruit juice one upon a time!) Definitely a nice wine. A little mellow for my tastes, definitely a product of spending 8 years in the cellar, but delicious nonetheless.
