Church Road 1 Redstone Single Vineyard Merlot 2019, Hawkes Bay

Vibrant, forward, fruity, toasty and varietal with distinctive aromas of dark plum and vanilla, some black currant scents and clove, moments of wood smoke and sweet French oak. Lovely weight and tension with firm, ripe tannins and youthful acid line then dark fruits and plums invading the palate with flavour, texture and intensity. A decent finish with moments of cassis and violet then toasty barrel spices and fruit re-engage. Delicious and ready with best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
