Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Yum... this is an easy-to-love dry, medium-bodied Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (with a splash of Semillon) from Mission Hill Family Estate. No sharp edges here, just smooth from the first sip. Fresh on the nose with medium-intensity aromas of grapefruit, fine herbs, soft tropical fruits, fresh-cut grassy notes and soft orange citrus flavours smooth and silky on the palate. Definitely a sip all day SB.

Grapes for the 2022 vintage were sourced from (47%) Black Sage Bench with the balance (53%) from Osoyoos East. Produced from 95% Sauvignon and 5% Semillon, the wine was aged in stainless-steel tank, French oak barrels, French puncheons, oak foudre, concrete egg and stainless-steel barrel (64%/21%/7.5%/2.5%/2.5%/2.5%). Tasted April 2023.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
