• Blend

  Cabernet Sauvignon: 39.5%

Beautiful, deep crimson colour.
The nose is intense, with notes of raspberry and blackberry.
Swirling in the glass reveals surprisingly ripe fruit aromas,
perfectly complemented by hints of understated vanilla, oak and delicate spices.
Starts out round, fleshy and full-bodied, unveiling delicious flavours mid-palate.
Black fruit and liquorice notes come to the fore, followed by juicy and velvety tannins.
This wine improves with each passing day since it was put into barrel.
It demonstrates what we caught a glimpse of at the end of alcoholic fermentation
and that the malolactic conversion hadsomewhat obscured: this 2019 Mission is indeed a great wine.
