Fragrant, plush, concentrated.
Dead of Nightis a blend of Tannat (Madiran's tannic red variety) and Syrah, both from the South Okanagan and if you've had this wine before, there are no surprises perhaps just more deliciousness.
Plush chocolate and licorice, vanilla, white pepper, violets and coffee, baking spices and oodles of sweet blackberry and blueberry aromas. It's supple and concentrated with chalky tannins across the palate; flavours of cocoa, black cherry, dark chocolate and espresso dominate.
A wine to pair with anything from the BBQ.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive

Fragrant, seductive, inky.
Dead of Nightis a blend of Tannat (Madiran's tannic red variety) and Syrah, both from the South Okanagan and if you've had this wine before, there are no surprises perhaps just more deliciousness.
Seductive notes of blueberries and pomegranate juice, vanilla, baking spices and chocolate lead to an equally generous palate. It's both muscular and approachable, slick and supple, with intensity and expressive purple fruit flavours woven with toasted spice, iodine and espresso. It has polished tannins and a lengthy finish. A wine to pair with anything from the BBQ.

Muscular, savoury, fresh..

Expect smoked plums and cocoa, roasted coffee beans and toasted spice with undertones of grilling meat. It's fresh off the top and becomes more grippy mid-palate. Restrained black fruit is layered with spice, toasted oak and dark mocha. It's a muscular wine, brooding and savoury that will pair well with BBQ, roast, hard cheeses and game meats.

Potent, expressive, plush.
Moon Curser is named for gold-smugglers trying to cross the Canada, U.S. border under the cover of darkness during the gold rush era. Often the brightness of the moon would foil their plans and they would be caught in their illegal activities.
The Dead of Night is a blend of Tannat (Madiran's tannic red grape variety) and Syrah, both from the South Okanagan.
Rich and chocolaty with kirsch, sarsaparilla, toffee and mocha aromas, which rolls into a plush and potent, spicy and generous palate. It is an opulent wine, modern but well structured.
Delicious.

Excellentl, succulent, complete.
Dead of Nightis a blend of Tannat (Madiran's tannic red grape variety) and Syrah, both from the South Okanagan.
It is a succulent delight of cocoa, espresso, smoked meats and white pepper supported by sweet plums and black forest berries. The palate is well-developed and complete; the balance spot-on and structure notable. The finish is lengthy with a bittersweet mocha lilt.
