Exotic, golden, pristine.
I am always appreciative of this wine. It has superlative aromas of honey, ripe orchard fruits, green almond and pomelo citrus. The palate is zesty, pristine and has a savoury salinity making your mouth water and making it a good partner for food.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Exotic, golden, concentrated.
I am always blown away by this wine - the concentration and superlative aromatic profile never fail to impress.
It has oodles of ripe golden fruit, spice and honey with bold citrus and a toasted core. The palate is an echo of golden fruit and spice with citrus, buttered nuts round it out. Showing impressive weight and depth, it is a powerful white. Nice acidity keeps it from being blousy or flabby, but it does have some burn on the finish.

Savoury, expressivet, chewy.
The Border Vines is Moon Curser's Meritage or Bordeaux cuvee: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
A pretty red, it expresses bold purple berries, violets and vanilla, sarsaparilla and mocha with hints of wet cedar. The palate is juicy with chewy tannins, plenty of appealing fruit and a lengthy cedary finish.
Decant before serving and pair with grilled meat, hearty bean stews or aged, hard cheeses.

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.

Fragrant, gregarious, 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 2019 reels you in with deep notes of blueberries and concord grapes, vanilla, raspberry jam, cherry twizzler and cinnamon and clove aromas. The palate is supple and laden with generous fruit. It's a gregarious, mouth-filling and tooth-coating red with a long dark chocolate and espresso finish.
Decant before serving and pair with BBQ, burgers, hearty stews or hard cheeses.
