Image + Description

murasaki red wine Napa Valley Premium Red Wine Heidi Barrett Winemaker

高貴なる色、紫。その名を冠するのは、複数の葡萄品種がより優雅なハーモニーを奏でる上級キュベの証。自らを紫屋と称した江戸の浮世絵師、歌麿がこだわっていた紫の色使いにも藤色から小豆色まで多彩な表情があったように、微妙に変化する香りや繊細な味わいにこそ、このワインの美徳があります。

「レザーとフルボディの印象を備えた、ペパリーで
スパイシーなワイン。ブルーベリーの豊かな味わいが
パレットに滑らかにひろがり、豊潤さとバランスの
見事なマリアージュを与えています」
