Moon Curser Syrah 2015
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe syrah comes off Moon Curser vineyards on the Osoyoos East Bench and in 2015 it was grown on a single site: Bartsch Vineyard. The silica and granite soiled sites face south and west, collecting plenty of warmth from the day sun. The fruit, picked by hand on October 6, came in at 24.8 Brix, and October 9 at 27 Brix. It’s a mix of barrel and tank fermentations all matured in 225L barriques that are mostly Hungarian oak. The ’15 syrah is amped up with super ripe fruit. The blueberry notes of last year are mixed with pruney, raisin, vanilla black fruit flavours and dry peppery notes in the finish. It’s warm (alcoholic) but not really out of whack. I suggest keeping it three to five years in bottle, or serving it now with venison or wild birds.Tasted: 19 November 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $23.39 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
