Our 2021 single vineyard Malbec, made from our Moon Curser Vineyard on the Osoyoos East Bench, is the quintessential Okanagan Malbec, with fruit and spice driving this enticing wine. It is a medium to full-bodied red wine that is dark purple in colour. Lively notes of fresh blueberries, white chocolate and eucalyptus dominate the nose alongside subtle hints of white pepper. The palate bursts with raspberry coulis, mint, fig, nutmeg and lilac. These beautiful flavours are in harmony with the subtle spice notes from the French oak influence. The wine is perfectly structured with round, chewy tannins balanced by a fresh, bright acidity. This wine drinks well now, especially when paired with dishes like stuffed eggplant, beef-filled empanadas, or a strong Gorgonzola. With proper cellaring, however, our 2021 Malbec will thrive and develop beautifully through to 2030.

86 | The fruit is good but I can’t get past the supreme charriness on the palate.

90 | Berry fruits, mulberry, chewy tannins, stalky malbec flavours, numbing tannins. Very dry.

90 | sour plum and dried cherries, generous fruit profile, and tight tannic grip, mineral-laced finish. needs time or food, probably both...

96 | Not such a blockbuster, more open textured with a savoury cedar spice layer. Not just masses of intense fruit. Lovely ripeness and presence. Very complex, complete wine.
