Tasty, unique, fresh.
Arneis is a relatively new white for Moon Curser (2013 was their first vintage), it is a rare variety; a Piedmontese grape.
A mineral/oyster shell note dominates, layered by green almond and lemons with herbal undertones. Lemon-lime and herbal notes along with mineral on the palate, mimic the nose. Good overall potency, a waxy texture and fresh finish.
Very unique and damn tasty.

Fresh, spiced, earthy.
Grown on the Osoyoos East Bench this Cabernet offers current and dried plums, vanilla, licorice, mocha, tobacco and graphite aromas. Fine spice, tealeaf, dusty plum flavours lead to a fresh palate with cocoa tannins. I suggest drinking now, not cellaring.

Unabashed, supple, muscular.
This unabashed South Okanagan Cabernet rolls out aromas of cassis and purple berries, tobacco, dried apricot and mocha, cedar and wet clay aromas. It's has a dry and earthy character with spice and leather, chocolate and spice. The weight is supple and it has overall generosity, which result in powerful tannin structure.
Decant or cellar for a couple years.
A wine for meat and plant-based meat alternatives, hard cheeses and hearty dishes.

Supple, slick, fresh.
Grown on the Osoyoos East Bench this Cabernet delivers cassis and dried cherries, vanilla, toffee, molasses, pencil shavings and spice aromas, which then lead to a supple and slick palate. Flavours of coffee, currents and plums slide across the tongue. It has superfine tannins, a nice freshness and good length.

Spicy, savoury, muscular.
This Southern Okanagan Cabernet delivers aromas of black current and black raspberry, vanilla, graphite, coffee leather, mint and tealeaf that roll onto a supple palate with chalky tannins. Extracted, it has oak spice, charred tobacco and vague black fruit flavours. It is muscular but youthful and could benefit from time to harmonize.
