Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlways a popular Moon Curser red, this year's Border Vines (referencing their proximity to the US / CA border in Osoyoos) blends 35% petit verdot, 33% merlot, 16% cabernet sauvignon, and 16% cabernet franc. The destemmed, uncrushed fruit was fermented warm stainless before resting 1 year in 225L French barriques (25% new). Baked blackberry, jammy plum, cassis, and thorns fills the muscular, full-bodied palate, with dense and chewy tannins, and a raft of baking spices on the lingering warming finish. One of the more powerful, showy wines in the lineup, though well achieved, and a rich one to reach for with equally rich braised / grilled dishes.Tasted: 20 July 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Moon Curser style is rich, potent, and highly expressive, but seldom is it overdone in recent years, as evidenced by the purity of fruit that runs through this wine. Dried summer berries, rich spicing, dark chocolate, and still with some saline mineral notes in its savoury fine-grained tannin back end. The '22 is a boisterous blend of heavy hitting 35% petit verdot, 33% merlot, 16% cabernet sauvignon, and 16% cabernet franc, all fermented in stainless steel and aged 12 months in 25% new French oak. At this point, the bigger the dinner, the better. Think ribeye steak with stilton, braised short ribs, or a vegetarian lentil lasagna.Tasted: 21 July 2025Tasted by: Prices:
