92 / 100"(2018 vintage) - So much character at the price, and quite different from your run-of-the-mill Cabernet. Red fruits and plum, aniseed and exotic spice, a pleasing floral and leafy perfume. It’s supple, medium-bodied, black olive and tobacco in with bramble fruit, gravelly tannin, and a dusty spicy finish of excellent length. Lovely. All class."

Tasting Notes
Frankland Estate are one of the leading producers in the Frankland River region. Family owned and operated since 1988, their major focus is on certified organically grown fruit that reflects its terroir rather than the hand of the winemaker
Wafts of dark chocolate, cedar and dried Italian mixed herbs are complemented by lifted red currants and mulberry. The palate is opulent yet focused. Ripe fruit abounds, balanced by mouth coating chalky tannin, which gives the wine texture and length. Ripe mulberry flavours intertwine with cacao and tobacco leaf.
