Mission Hill Reserve Shiraz 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn some ways Mission Hill reminds me a bit of Robert Mondavi back in the day. They don’t make any mistakes at the winery, as exemplified by this reserve shiraz made in the Australian spirit: dense, rich and showy. The nose is open and bright, the style rich and hedonistic with pepper, blackberries, sweet plums and even some light floral notes. Weighty and dense, this requires a powerful menu item to match the richness and length. Can’t wait to see this in 2025. For now, barbecue pork.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
