The wine in this lot has a score of 91 from Wine Enthusiast and the following tasting note -Oculus isMerlot, withCabernet Sauvignon andCabernet Franc finishing the blend. As with Mission Hill's other high-end red blends, it's almost jet black in hue, with scents of smoke and char around blackberry and black cherry fruit. Chocolate and espresso flavors come through strongly, and the tannins are quite drying. It's a style ready-made for a thick, juicy steak.
