Description
// 67% Cabernet Franc, 17% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot
"A complex and distinguished wine of its own kind. Plum red colour, lifted fresh red berries interlaced with hints of vanilla and cedar, dried Italian herbs, brambles, plum and dense alluring, mouth-watering aromas. The palate is soft and juicy and it bursts into blue fruits across the palate supported by mouthcoating textural tannins that add weight and complexity. There are subtle nuances of saline, tobacco leaf, earthy, anise and savoury elements. Its beautifully layered and complex. Well balanced acidity draws this complexity of flavours across the palate for a long, seamless finish. Beautifully balanced and effortlessly elegant wine with the structure and intensity to reward further cellaring. A wine that makes Cabernet Franc the true champion of this blend." - Winemaker Notes
Savoury and age-worthy style, as per usual. Blackberry, baked plum, tobacco, mint and aniseed, iodine. It’s firm and offers plenty of tobacco and seaweed flavour, raspberry and mint, loads of rusty/ferrous/sticky tannin, quite grainy and dry in texture, with a long finish offering intense mixed berry flavour. Firm. Good; very typical of Frankland." - 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
