Mission Hill Reserve Merlot VQA 2022

A sleek, juicy merlot, well-poised with fine chalky tannins and a sense of restraint. Red cherry and ripe plum mingle with gentle spice and well-balanced acidity. Mid-weight with effortless charm that should continue to unveil further layers over the next 2-4 years. Tidy and textured with memorable length. Tasted September 2025. (Sara d’Amato,winealign.com)
