Church Road One Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

David Walker Bell, Wine Folio writes "A vivid claret red in the glass. And a dark, generous and compelling perfume. Enticing, with blackcurrant, cherry, thyme, smoked mushroom, sandalwood, mint and violet florals – a classic, well-defined expression of the varietal. Smooth, power-packed and full into the palate. Firm, svelte tannin and an integrated acidity are framed by a dusting of good oak. Plays with the full spectrum of flavours – delightfully complex and layered. Finished with a spicy, sweetening edge."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "An expressive, bold yet slight understated bouquet focusing on the purity of fruit first with blackberry and roasted dark plum scents, baking spices with anise then toasty barrel notes with wood smoke and vanilla. Youthful, complex and quite powerful. As the wine open up in glass the scents and flavours begin to amplify with the lines between fruits and wine making beginning to blur. Don’t get me wrong this wine is taut, dry and very youthful with big tannins and a decent acid line, the core of fruit however soaks these characters up easily suggesting a wine that will age well. The lengthy finish and persistent flavours with its sound structure suggest a wine best drinking from 2029 through 2050."
