Country of Origin:  France,Valleé de L'Aude AOP Languedoc                                          

Pays de la Haute Vallée de l'Aude, Roussillon.  Incredible value; a fresh and intense and joyful expression of Malbec from high altitude vineyards.

Vibrant ruby hues gleam out of the glass. The first notes on the nose are of crushed blueberries which then develop on to reveal an intriguing bitter-sweet character of crème de cassis with a touch of underlying parma violets. Fine red-fruits fill the mouth; raspberries and a touch of dark chocolate truffle.

Try this with steak or meats from the grill.  Works with seared tuna, too.
