Mission Hill 2017 Meritage Reserve is well-structured, balanced and supple on the palate with ripe dark fruit, dark berry, cherry, dried herbs, mint and smoky flavours. Full bodied and elegant, this is a Meritage red wine blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot aged 15 months in French and American oak barrels. Pour with your favourite grilled steak. - Community Wine Reviews
