Moon Curser Contraband Syrah 2018
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Contraband Syrah takes the ripeness up a notch. The fruit is jammy and pushes into the blue fruit spectrum, but there’s no mistaking this for an Australian shiraz, thanks to the Okanagan savouriness. This is denser and richer than Moon Curser's main tier syrah, easily swallowing up the 30 percent new oak, with fine, grainy tannins and just enough acidity to make it all work. A hedonistic pour that’s perfect heading into the winter months, and good value, too. Sourced from a west-facing block of Bartsch Vineyard.Tasted: 14 December 2020Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | select private wine shops, limited restaurants |
