Mission Hill Family Estate Oculus Cabernet Blend 2007 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

One of the most spectacular vintages of one of Canada's greatest wines. Oculus towers above the rest in its superb breadth, depth and length. Seductive and brooding aromas of dark fruit, violets, spices and smoke. The 2007 vintage is a blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (24%), Cabernet Franc (21%), and Petit Verdot (5%). It was aged for 16.5 months in French oak, 63% of which was new. All of this coddling results in a wine that delivers hedonistic ripples of pleasure on the palate. Perfect for when you cash in your Google stock (and sigh with relief that you didn't rush into Facebook). Cheers!

Cabernet Blend food pairings: filet mignon, prime rib.
