Natalie's Score: 90/100

From Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Mission Hill Reserve 2021 Merlot is produced from grapes sourced from the Black Sage Bench. This is a dry, full-bodied and lush Merlot with blueberry, dark plum, cedar brush and toasty oak spice flavours wrapped up with a whiff of campfire smoke on the palate. Tannins are firm. Good now, better in 2024.

Merlot food pairings: pulled pork, shepherd’s pie, gourmet burgers.

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.
