| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by darrenv on 10/12/2022 & rated 91 points: Day one (last night) I thought it was just okay. Tonight, wow, it's far better. Obviously it's young, but with enough air (until next year I'd open 24 hours in advance). Black fruit nose, tar, molasses, hockey puck and violet. Full mouthfeel, but instead of pepper on the finish it's some tannins that are not harsh, but persistent. This could go with a lot of food. If this were $25 I'd say back up the truck. I think it's $30 pre-tax. For a 2020, I'm pretty happy. I wasn't sure it would be a good year. (486 views) |
| Moon Curser Producer Website
Moon Curser Vineyards is a boutique, family-owned winery on the East Bench of Osoyoos, BC, a South Okanagan border town known for its hot summers, lakeside fun and vineyards. Moon Curser has been in operation since 2004, when Chris and Beata Tolley purchased an old orchard in need of replanting, and set about converting it into what is now the Moon Curser Home Vineyard block, winery and tasting room.
The Moon Curser name pays tribute to the gold smuggling history of Osoyoos. The Moon Curser wines, however, break from tradition – the winery’s focus has always been on making premium wines from old-world grape varieties not previously planted in the Okanagan such as Tannat, Dolcetto and Touriga Nacional. These varieties have not historically been a part of the South Okanagan viticulture, but thrive in the distinctive terroir of the Osoyoos East Bench and continue to deliver unique, world class interpretations of these wines.
Moon Curser was recognized as #1 Best Performing Small Winery at the 2019 WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada.Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. Canadahttps://www.winegrowerscanada.ca/
