Savoury, bright, spicy.
The Border Vines is Moon Curser's Meritage or Bordeaux blend - Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Malbec & Petit Verdot.
It doles out oodles of black fruit, chocolate covered cherries, vanilla, espresso, licorice, vanilla and purple floral notes. The palate is supple with plenty of acidity to keep it bright. Licorice flavours dominate, layered with chocolate, fresh berries, vanilla and spice, the latter trailing on a long finish.
Decant before serving and pair with grilled meat, hearty lentil stews or aged, hard cheeses.
