Visually stunning with incredibly deep purple and crimson, so dark it is remeniscent of the "Black wines of the Cahors". Soft, ripe fruit aromas of blackberry jam offset with delic ...moreate hints of rose petal and eucalyptus. A dark berry concentration luxuriates on the palate, with blackberry, cherry compote and boysenberry that are juicy and satisfying. Smooth and silky tannins support a long, deep and persistent finish that is simultaneously balanced and intense. Serve with a classic "Steak au Poivre" and take your senses to a whole other level of enjoyment.
