Frankland Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Frankland River

Vintage: 2021
Alc %: 14.0

A fine, faintly herbal cabernet with a restrained perfume of cassis, dark plums and cedar/cigarboxy oak. It opens steadily with aeration to reveal a gentle, uncomplicated palate of medium weight whose lively expression of fruit will flesh out with age.

Frankland Estate
Firstly it was Frankland Estate's collection of European-inspired Rieslings that captured popular attention, but these days its red wines are of near-comparable merit. Let by an outstanding Olmo's Reward and Isolation Ridge Vineyard shiraz, the reds have developed wonderful elegance and balance, based on better viticulture and vines of greater maturity. The Riesling collection continues to provide me with one of the more enjoyable tasting experiences in Australian wine.
