Cabernet Sauvignon - Confiscated 2024, Moon Curser Vineyards

Description from the Producer

Made in Osoyoos, from premium Washington grown grapes along the East bank of the Columbia River, just 2 hours south of Moon Curser. A world-renowned variety: this dense, bold, varietally true Cabernet Sauvignon leans into ripeness and complexity. Think stewed black fruits, baking spice, and leather. One to confiscate into your cellar!

Tasting Notes: Our 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon - Confiscated is a deepy coloured, all-out expression of the variety. The grapes are grown on the Double D Vineyard on the slopes of East bank of the Columbia River, which allowed for rich ripening, allowing for optimal sugar and flavour development. The nose opens with a dense profile of stewed and baked fruits, layered with dates and hoisin sauce. The aromas give way to complex baking spices, tobacco and leather. On the palate, the wine is dry, full-bodied with a rounded acidity that provides structure without cutting into the richness. The flavour delivers concentrated notes of dark chocolate, liquorice and forest floor, while framed with integrated oak and tannin structure. A bold, varietally true Cabernet Sauvignon that leans into ripeness and complexity, while retaining enough structure for an aging potential towards 2034. Enjoy this wine with braised short ribs, bacon-wrapped Gorgonzola or grilled portobello mushrooms.
