An unoaked, medium-bodied 50/50 blend of Cab Franc and Cab Sauv, this wine has a floral nose, with notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, and tobacco on a palate with a great acidic contour.
Matt Sherlock used this fruit for a rare single-vineyard Rose this year and the gamble paid off big. It might be his best wine, with tart cranberry and raspberry aromas.
Cabernet Sauvignon (44%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (26%)
"Intense and graceful, the nose introduces a fine concentration of Cassis and highlights of cedar, anise, and vanilla bean. The palate shows generous layers of bramble fruit and licorice followed by subtle nuances of white pepper. This bold and dense red is incredibly well balanced with fine tannin, elegant structure and a lengthy finish."
52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak for 17 months. An Okanagan take on Bordeaux-style red, with only 99 barrels made. This is a big, aggressive red that manages to retain a fresh vibrancy despite all that, and the complexity is a testament to what Mission Hill's best sites have to offer.
47% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc. Floral, with red fruit notes on the nose and dark fruit accompanied on the palate by white pepper and a hint of cinnamon. A structure that shifts and evolves, with fine tannins and a pleasantly lingering finish.
