In cooler seasons, our younger plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc can sometimes fall short of the exceptional quality required for inclusion in our flaghship Quintet blend. These parcels however, still produce vibrant, expressive wines that stand proudly on their own. Crafted using the same meticulous winemaking techniques as our Quintet components, final blending decisions for Réflexion are made just prior to bottling. The 2023 Réflexion is a compelling example—fresh, vibrant, and immediately drinkable. Aromatically, it bursts from the glass with lifted red fruits: cherry, plum, and redcurrant. The palate is taut, sleek, and finely structured, delivering flavours of cherry and blackcurrant layered with subtle sweet spice and smoky nuances that add complexity. Tannins are present but beautifully integrated—soft, restrained, and perfectly aligned with the wine’s elegant frame and medium- bodied weight. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot. - Mount Mary, Winery.
