Jubilant, fragrant, blushing.
Now with three tiers of rose wines, Mission Hill's reserve tier blush is made from almost equal parts Merlot and Shiraz with a splash of Pinot Noir from estate vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver.
While it's not as complex as the premium Border Vista Rose, it is more approachable. Expect a blushing apricot-pink with aromas of ruby grapefruit and oodles of strawberry, cherry blossoms, stone fruits, faint spice and vanilla. It has a kiss of sweetness and loads of juicy, high-toned fruit. A jubilant and delicious rose with structure to boot.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.
