Moon Curser Contraband Syrah Bartsch Vineyard 2021
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother painful example of the wildfires in 2021 that were simply too much for some vineyards caught in the path of smoke. This has great intensity and obvious quality markers but the smoke sits like a fire blanket on the wine, before a dried up finish reminiscent of an early morning party ashtray character a scent well known to ex-smokers. We will be back next year.Tasted: 01 August 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $42.99 | 750ml | wine club member exclusive |
