Mission Hill Reserve Merlot 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBig, slick nose of black plums, ripe blackberries and vanilla scented black compote. Full, silky palate of the same - deep, dense blackberry, black liquorice and plum compote - married with peppery spice, clove, and mocha, tight wood and bitter espresso on the finish. Tannins are tight and a touch powdery and the finish is juicy and potent. Pour with a blackberry sauced or peppercorn steak.Tasted: 18 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
