Churchview Limited Release Cabernet Malbec Merlot Petit Verdot 2022

A complex Bordeaux blend from Margaret River, deep mauve in hue, and with pronounced aromatics, this has a long and promising life ahead of it. There is still some oak evident, but early days and integration is proceeding well. It is very much a classic Margaret River blend. The nose gives us notes of black fruits, chocolate, cassis, florals, bay leaves and aniseed. The structure is seamless, yet it is a powerful wine, well focused and quite tannic, with those gravelly tannins the region so often throws up. With excellent length here, this will surely provide pleasure for the next decade and more. This is serious value.
