Moon Curser Vineyards Syrah 2021

A  perennial favourite among the winery staff, our Contraband Syrah continues to showcase the excellence of the Bartsch vineyard. This medium to full-bodied red wine is deep ruby-purple in the glass, with a nose that is highly aromatic and rich with notes of cinnamon, cocoa powder, blackcurrant and vanilla bean. The palate follows up with fresh acidity, round tannins and a flavourful burst of violets, stewed blueberries, anise and black pepper, all married together by the lovely integration with toasty oak notes. This is a wine that is built to last, or share with loved ones at the end of an evening around the fireplace. Our 2021 Contraband Syrah will continue to evolve in the bottle if cellared through 2030 – 2033. This wine shines particularly well with the right foods: venison, osso buco, and barbecued spare ribs are all sure to be a hit pairing
