Mission Hill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This is a representative yet riveting rendition of cabernet sauvignon from the Okanagan Valley. It is inky with colour and flavour, including dried tobacco leaves and violets, plush blackberries and blackcurrants, and toasted vanilla bean and brown spices. The palate is dense and gently warming, but graceful, with fine, drying tannins and firm acids, while the finish is long-lasting and concentrated. This wine is beautiful now but will continue to mature over the next 2-3 years, integrating further and developing even more complexity. Tasted July 2025. (Megha Jandhyala, S.J.D.,winealign.com)
