Natalie's Score: 89/100

From the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia wine region, Mission Hill 2020 Reserve Sauvignon is superb with pinpoint balanced acidity, lemongrass, tropical fruit, white florals and mineral flavours finishing long on the palate. Aged six months in French oak barrels and then stainless-steel tank. Pair with pan-fried pickerel. The SB grapes for this vintage were sourced from the Black Sage Bench. Mission Hill was named the 2019 Winery of the Year at the National Wine Awards of Canada.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: grilled salmon with herb butter, green salads with goat cheese, freshly steamed shrimp with salad.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia wine region, Mission Hill Reserve 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is superb. Well-crafted and perfectly balanced with natural acidity, look for fine herb, summer-kissed white florals, lemon zest, tropical fruit and fresh mineral flavours finishing long on the palate. So good! Aged six months in French oak barrels and then stainless-steel tank. Chill and enjoy with herbed goat cheese on baguette. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
