Round, full and expressive with melon, citrus, pear, herbal and floral notes. Fresh and lively with a salty, mineral quality and soft acidity. 100% Verdejo.
Compelling right off the nose with floral notes and an abundance of red fruit, spice and liquorice. Lots of depth showing firm, fruit coated tannins. Savoury, medium body, but full-flavoured, fresh and juicy with a nice edginess, and bright acidity. Moon Curser is the poster child for the Okanagan’s diversity and the perfect example of why the region should not limit itself to growing only a few mainstream grape varieties (assuming this is not done with a random, shotgun approach to planting and winemaking, but rather by knowledgeable and talented viticulturalists and enologists).
Pale salmon pink. Fresh fruity nose of crushed strawberry, light candy notes. Soft on the palate, tender acidity, clean fruity taste and a pleasantly round finish. Enjoy now. Good buy.
Il Bruciato is Guado al Tasso’s second wine but, trust me, there is nothing second-class about it. This black wine, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Syrah is complex, with layers of plums, black cherries, blackcurrants, vanilla, cinnamon and mocha. Full bodied and hearty, the finish just carries on. It will drink well over the next decade. Charred T-bone steaks or beef carpaccio are the best matches.
Full-bodied; the blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, peanut butter, chocolate, smoke and mint inundate the senses. The palate is jammy with loads of plummy tannins and delicious length. Pair this with some hardy winter fair, such as a braised lamb shank or a herb-and-pepper-encrusted prime rib roast.
Pale golden yellow. Shy nose of white fruits and flintstone. Very dry, sharp, delicate flavour but impressive presence and balance with a lasting finish. Great buy.
Upfront notes of vibrant cassis and spice before a plush palate of enticing aromas of ripe black currant and tobacco introduce this harmonious wine. Round flavours of cacao, liquorice, coffee and plum are followed by an exotic spicy finish that lingers in a bold and elegant manner.
