Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Merlot 2022

Mission Hills's 2022 Reserve Merlot was grown in two of our estate vineyards. Osoyoos, the region’s most southern area, is comprised of arid benchlands that benefit from the lake’s effect providing the region with more than 200 frost-free days. This warm climate allows our Bordeaux varietals to completely ripen for full flavour. The Oliver Vineyard estate is a diverse vineyard with more than 60 different individual blocks, affording us an amazing array of premium quality fruit.

On this nose, this wine displays a rich bouquet of wild blackberry and red plum complemented by subtle notes of cedar and mocha. On the palate, this vintage reveals a blend of ripe fruit and earthy undertones, finishing with a smooth, velvety texture.
