Fragrant, creamy, lovely.
An outstanding Pinot Gris, the reserve tier from Mission Hill delivers pristine aromas of Asian pear and stone fruits, creamy honey and wildflowers. It's dry, juicy and has notable purity. Like the nose the palate suggests creamy pear and stone fruit with a hint of fig. A lovely white with a lengthy finish. Pair:Seafood pastas, roasted chicken, creamy sauces or mild coconut curries.

Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Fragrant, creamy, weighty.
Yellow pears and vanilla, guava and honey notes mingle with fragrant orange blossom aromas. It has a creamy palate that is off-dry but lifted with bright acidity. Wonderfully easy to drink. Pair:Seafood pastas, roasted chicken, creamy sauces or mild coconut curries.

Second Review: September 13, 2019
Cherries and botanical, bacon fat and star anise, forest floor, charred spices and cocoa aromas lead to a juicy and spicy palate with good balance and length.

Silky, sweet, fragrant.
The reserve range of Mission Hill's wines are fruit-forward and opulently-scented in style overall. The Pinot launches with raspberries in bourbon, sarsaparilla and cherries, then unveils tealeaf, botanical and leather undertones. Supple with sweet berry fruit and a silky demeanor, it is fresh and juicy and modern.

Classic, fresh, fragrant.
This reserve Pinot Noir is made from fruit harvested from Naramata, Lakeshore, East Kelowna and West Kelowna and the wine spent 10 months in French oak.
Ruby with magenta glints his front loads cherries, raspberries and dried roses atop rainforest floor, leather and fine spices. The palate shows classic pinosity; finesse, elegance and freshness. Expect flavours of dusty red fruit, cedar, cocoa, and spice.

Racy, dry, elegant.
Mission Hill has three tiers of rose wines, and this reserve tier blush is made from almost equal parts Merlot, Shiraz and Pinot Noir from estate vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver. Also, all top tiers of Mission Hill's Wines are now certified organic.
Pale dusty pink it features notes of tangy red berries, ruby grapefruit and honey, tangerine, candle wax and dried flowers. It is juicy and silky with a dry palate and lovely balance. Elegant, buoyant, and quite racy; a delicious rose.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.
