Highest Score to Date
Recognized as a milestone for Mission Hill, the 2020 vintage produced wines of rare distinction. Alongside Oculus’ historic 100-point achievement, 2020 Quatrain was awarded 95 points, a Gold at 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards.
About The Vintage
Despite a cool, wet start to spring, the 2020 Okanagan growing season rebounded with warm, dry weather through summer and fall. These ideal conditions led to healthy vine growth, balanced ripening, and exceptional flavour development, resulting in one of the region’s standout vintages.
About The Wine
Crafted from the unique terroir of Osoyoos East, this vintage was fermented in small French oak fermenters and matured in French oak barrels to build depth and complexity. It opens with rich aromas of dark plum and blackberry, lifted by delicate spice. Red currant and blueberry bring freshness to the palate, framed by fine structure and a precise, lingering finish.
The Blend: 40% Syrah, 33% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
A Timeless Wine
Beyond its accolades, the 2020 Quatrain reflects the harmony between site, season, and precision that defines Mission Hill’s approach to winemaking. With every glass, this wine tells a story of balance, craftsmanship, and place.
We invite you to experience the 2020 Quatrain firsthand through a tasting at Mission Hill Family Estate and discover for yourself why it continues to set a new standard for Canadian wine.
