Syrah 2022, Moon Curser Vineyards

BC VQA

Tasting Notes: Syrah has become one of the main pillars of the Moon Curser portfolio, providing us with a consistently magnificent wine, year after year. The 2022 iteration of our Syrah shows no sign of that trend slowing down.

The wine is deep purple in colour and offers a complex and layered bouquet of aromatics on the nose. Aromas of blueberry, gingerbread and rose petals lead the way, while subtle notes of vanilla, licorice and chocolate further add depth to the aromatic profile. On the palate, this Syrah is dry with a medium-full body and a rounded acidity that enhances its weight and generous texture. Flavours of raspberry jam, blackberry and black plum dominate, complemented by bright accents of red currant and cranberry. Subtle undertones of toffee and a touch of white pepper add additional complexity and interest. The finish is lingering and satisfying, with echoes of vanilla and chocolate.

While the wine will continue to age beautifully over the next seven years, through 2031, it will be equally impressive if drank now. Especially fitting will be a pairing with peppered steak, beef teriyaki, vegetarian goulash, or swiss cheese.
