Mission Hill S.L.C. Merlot 2002
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest edition to B.C.'s roster of elite wines is Mission Hill S.L.C. Merlot 2002. Mission Hill's picture perfect winery has garnered a lifetime of accolades for its architecture but now they have a wine with similar impressive structure. Spice, smoky garrigue and licorice root aromas mix easily with black cherry pudding, vanilla, black olive and coriander. The merlot is perfectly ripe with concentrated fruit and supple tannins. Restrained spicy, black cherry jam and chocolate pudding flavours laced with mint, olive, resin and coriander finish long and stylishly. This is the best wine John Simes has made in B.C. and his vineyards are only beginning to fill out.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | Winery, Mark Anthony Wine Marts, Private Wine Shops |
