Tasting Notes

Deep violet color that evokes its name. Ethereal rose petal incense and spicy perfume with a bass note of smoky earth and espresso. Juicy and medium-bodied with red currant and black pepper on the palate. Finishes with smooth, lush tannins, ripe acidity and good length.

The ultimate in steak wine. Try with grilled steak, bbq wings or smoked gouda.
