Vibrant ruby hues gleam out of the glass. The first notes on the nose are of crushed blueberries which then develop on to the revel an intriguing bittersweet character of crème de cassis with a touch of underlying Parma violets. Fine red fruits fill the mouth along with a touch of raspberry and a touch of dark chocolate truffle.
Food Pairings: Delicious with steak and meats from the grill. It works with seared tuna, too.
