Matawhero Church House Malbec Merlot 2020

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Ripe, fruity, varietal and attractive bouquet with aroma sof dark black berry and chocolate, violets and dark plums, toasty, spicy oak and baking spices. Complex, youthful and enticing. Youthful, taut and immediately engaging on the palate. Flavours and spices mirror the bouquet accentuated and held in place by acidity and tannins. A firm texture with a mineral and salivating effect."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Youthfully charming and fragrant with cassis, blueberry, violet, olive and roasted nut characters, it’s succulent and plump in the mouth offering beautifully flowing mouthfeel backed by fine polished tannins. Harmonious and elegantly structured, making it delectably appealing."

The winery writes "Lifted aromatic notes of Doris plum, dark fruits and dusty herbs. Big and fruity with hints of plum, blackberry, blueberry and dried herbs. The wine has a big, ripe tannic finish. Lovely with any red meat dish."
