Church Road McDonald Series Merlot 2017, Hawke's Bay
An excellent bouquet of dark plum and cherry flesh, some soft lees and baking spices then wood smoke and spices layer in complexity and charm to the bouquet. A core of red fruit flavours touches the palate first then contrasting fine through moderate wood tannins and decent back bone of acidity. Salivating and fresh with ideal drinking from day of purchase through 2025+.
