The buzz surrounding the Okanagan’s 2014 vintage began before the first grapes were picked. An early start to the season and idyllic summer conditions fuelled speculation about the prospect for Bordeaux varieties and Syrah. The release of Mission Hill’s 2014 Reserve Cabernet shows pundits weren’t just blowing hot air. Produced with estate grown grapes from Osoyoos and Black Sage Bench, this well-crafted red benefited from Mission Hill’s purpose built cellar for Bordeaux red varieties.Thirteen months aging in French and American oak barrels yielded a savoury and complex expression of Cabernet with chocolate, dark fruit and herbal notes.
