Diversion 2024, Moon Curser Vineyards

This brand-new wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that was created as a diversion from what we Moon Curser's normally do. A diversion from typical Bordeaux blends. Nothing to see here!

Tasting Notes: A brand new wine and a diversion from the norm here at Moon Curser, this Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a compelling red wine with a medium purple colour. The nose is expressive and layered with notes of violet and leather, while ripe black fruits and black pepper envelop a complex oak profile of chocolate and cedar. On the palate the wine is dry with a medium-full body, striking a fine balance between richness and elegance. The flavour profile is led by boysenberry and dark plum, followed by accents of black olive and spice, while subtle oak influence brings a polished touch of cocoa that is almost old world in nature. It may be a diversion, but it is a wine that will grab your full attention. Pair with wild mushroom and lentil stew, charred eggplant, or a Bolognese with Parmesan lasagna. Diversion will continue to evolve in the bottle for the next five to seven years, through 2031 - 2033.
