Part of Pernod Ricard New Zealand, Church Road is a historic property dating back to the end of the 19th century, so it is a shame that the wines are not available in the U.S. The 2007 Reserve Cabernet Merlot features delicate scents of dried herbs and tea leaves allied to bold cassis and cherry fruit. It’s firm and slightly drying on the finish; give it until 2015 to come into its own. ——J.C.(6/1/2010)—— 90
