(2024) There's no holding back with Church Road's Grand Reserve, whole bunch pressed and fermented and aged in French oak, it's creamy, nutty and toasty, flint and honey notes over ripe stone fruit. Quite full bodied, the suggestion of flintiness carries through to the palate, weighty and luscious peachy fruit never overwhelms, thanks to the bracing but generous line of acidity. The oak keeps that nutty subtext running into the finish.
