Mission Hill Quatrain 2009
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 09 Quatrain is a 30/30/20/20/ blend of merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc fermented in large French oak vats. Expect a fragrant nose cherry with sweet liquorice and spicy warm mocha, meaty notes. All the fruit comes off the best blocks farmed in the south Okanagan and spends 15 months in French oak. The finish is warm and long with chalky but firm tannins and will need some time to come around in the bottle.Tasted: 02 December 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $50.00 | 750ml | winery direct or private wine stores |
