Full-bodied, with a luxuriously ample mid-palate yet pulling admirably to the dry side. This is deftly sculpted and elegantly proportioned cabernet from Mission Hill, with flavours of cassis, dark chocolate, blackberry jam, spices and a whisper of mint. Well-handled oak. Approachable now, it should improve with at least six years in the cellar. Available at the above price in Ontario, $25.99 in British Columbia.
