The 2020 Church Block is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Shiraz (42%) and Merlot (10%) and is aromatically reminiscent of blackberry jam, bone broth, sage, licorice, milk chocolate and bay leaves. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and flowing, with a casing of firm tannins that hold it all in shape. Smart. A good value favorite here in Australia.
