Mission Hill Terroir Collection No. 39 Whispering Hill Organic Merlot 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMission Hill's Terroir Collection is a series of small lot, single vineyard wines, in this case from a certified, 17-acre, organic vineyard encircled by the desert near Oliver. Intensely savoury, this carries what Darryl Brooker describes as a rugged Ponderosa pine character. Love the silky fine-grained tannins that slowly pull you into the black cherries, graphite, plummy earthy branch flavours. This grows in the glass and is well worth decanting an hour before serving. Fine purity. Try this with beef tenderloin with pepper sauce.Tasted: 20 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Mission Hill Terroir Collection No. 39 Whispering Hill Organic Merlot 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMission Hill's Terroir Collection is a series of small lot, single vineyard wines. This is from a desert-ringed, certified organic vineyard near Oliver with well-draining, alluvial fan-based soils. Grippy and dusty throughout, with dark black cherries, graphite, perfumed plum, bitter cassis, earthy branch and potent tobacco. Tannins are firm and fine-grained, relaxing and expanding with time in the glass (or decanter). For all of its Ponderosa-pine ruggedness, it retains an air of elegance, even now in youth. Very pure merlot and we are looking forward to watching where this is going in the future under winemaker Darryl Brooker.Tasted: 11 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:
