Smooth, wild, spicy.
Osoyoos-based Moon Curser Vineyards makes a range of wine, many rare in Canadian soils.
The Contaband Syrah shows blackberries and black raspberries, sarsaparilla, warm mocha and a hint of violets. The entry is smooth and grows more textural mid-palate. Fresh but with a wild savoury side, it doles out cocoa, espresso, black fruit and peppery spice flavours and trails toasted oak across the finish. .
Pair with grilled or roasted meats aged goat cheeses or rich winter stews.
