Transcript

It is 8:00 AM, I have 60 seconds to figure out what this wine is. Let's go. Okay. Okay. We're starting with like rich fruits. This wine is really closed off. I'm really not getting a lot to start. Probably could have decanted it. Shoot. Roasted cherries, something barbecuey. Is this Australian? It's like a barbecued possum with like a side of cherry jam. What? Coffee, more cherries. I'm really, I'm going to say New World. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say Australian Grenache. It's a red blend. It's a red blend. Well, to do another video.
