Church Road Tom Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
A salute to Hawke’s Bay pioneer, Tom McDonald, Church Road TOM wines capture the passion for a craft that has been respected and refined for 125 years.
The wines are testament to Church’s Road’s restless ambition for ultimate quality and no effort is spared at each step in the winemaking journey. From the careful management of the vineyards in the Tuki Tuki Valley, Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle, to the masterful winemaking under Chris Scott, Church Road TOM wines are the culmination of the collection experience and understanding of the team, past and present.
A core of fragrant cassis and dark berry fruit, cherry and plum is lifted by top notes of rosewood and cedar with cooler hints thyme, lavender and cardamom. A savoury dark earthy complexity brings a more serious, brooding undertone to the wine. On the palate the wine is medium/full bodied with good mid palate flesh, finishing with a long, fine, supple tannin structure. This is a dense yet elegant wine with great depth which will reward long term cellaring until 2028 – 2043.
