Savoury, pensive, toasted.
Border Vines is Moon Curser's Meritage or Bordeaux cuvee, which is made mostly of Cabernet Sauvignon that's blended with Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere and Petit Verdot.
Always fragrant, the 2021 Border Vines delivers juicy red fruit notes with black cherry and toasted spice, salted licorice, vanilla, cedar and dried flowers. Black chocolate and espresso and charred spice flavours appear in the mouth. It's a pensive wine, quite restrained and savoury, but with notable freshness.
Decant before serving and pair with BBQ, burgers, hearty stews or hard cheeses.
