Mission Hill Oculus 2020
Mission Hill Oculus 2020
The result of meticulous selection in the vineyard estate with grapes sourced from designated blocks in the Osoyoos (90%) and Oliver Black Sage (10%) vineyard estates from low-yielding vines. Merlot (49%), Cabernet Sauvignon (24%), Cabernet (22%), Petit Verdot (5%). Optically-sorted grapes were gravity-filled into specially constructed French oak and concrete fermenters before maturation for nineteen months in small French oak barrels followed by an additional 24 months in bottle prior to release.
Rich and powerful, yet with lovely balance, leafy with notes of black plum from the dominant Merlot component, structure from the Cabernet Sauvignon and the leafy aromatics from the Cabernet Franc, finishing concentrated, savoury, and very long. One of Canada's greatest red wines.
