Moon Curser Vineyards Dead of Night Tannat Syrah 2019

Our 2019 Dead of Night is comprised of seven carefully selected barrels of ’19 Tannat and six of the top performing barrels of ’19 Syrah. This red wine is full-bodied with a deep ruby colour in the glass and a nose of cedar, black fruit and vanilla. The palate brings out characters of blackberry, cassis and anise. The wine has fantastic structure; rich, with a gorgeous texture and depth of flavour. The well-integrated but firm tannins provide the perfect backdrop for the wine, while allowing the acidity to carry the lengthy finish. Dead of Night (surprisingly for such a well-structured wine) is approachable and drinks well upon release. However, this is also a wine that has the intensity, acid structure and tannins required to make it an excellent candidate for cellaring up to ten years.
