Church Road McDonald Series Hawke’s Bay Cabernet Sauvignon
This label remembers the late Tom McDonald, who made fine cabernet wine on this vineyard for six decades, starting in 1921. It’s a warm, powerful wine that smells seductively of redcurrants, ripe blackberries, mint and vanillin oak. It’s full flavoured and very firm in the mouth, with a substantial tannin structure that will soften with bottle age. A wine for robust dishes like red wine-braised lamb shanks.
