Product Notes

The Mission Hill Reserve Merlot is a robust, full-bodied red wine hailing from the majestic Okanagan Valley in Canada. It boasts a sublime balance of fruity undertones, such as ripe plum and black cherry, with a delightful hint of cocoa and subtle oak. The lingering finish brings forth traces of spice, making it a perfect companion for hearty meat dishes. A rich ruby hue enhances its visual appeal. This splendid Merlot is easy on the palate yet profound with complexities, a true representation of the meticulous craftsmanship and celebrated viticulture of the Mission Hill vineyards. A must-try for wine connoisseurs!

Tasting Notes

Mission Hill's stellar southern Okanagan estate delivers this fruit forward and voluptuous Merlot. Power and structure dance while lush, round flavours of plum, blackberry, cedar and fig flourish.
