Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSilky and seductive, without being a caricature of itself, the first Reserve Meritage is cabernet franc dominant (at 35 percent), along with cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot, from their estates in Osoyoos and in Oliver. Potent and firm black fruit, violets, boysenberry, are seasoned with espresso and linger with vanilla. This large 15 degree wine is ready for drinking now.Tasted: 24 February 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe first Reserve Meritage at Mission Hill mixes a larger proportion of cabernet franc, 35 percent, with 32 percent cabernet sauvignon, 31 percent merlot and two percent petit verdot grown on two estates: one in Osoyoos and one in Oliver. The attraction here is the elegance and texture of this wine. The red and black fruit is modestly spicy and juicy but it’s the long, round, silky, palate and earthy, savoury Okanagan notes that make it especially attractive for the price. Well done.Tasted: 19 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:
