Frankland Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$30.00
This wine has developed more quality and style in bottle more than I ever expected. It’s become a stylish, elegant and finely textured cabernet whose deep aromas of cassis, dark plum, mulberries, dark cherries and cedary oak precede a long, gentle and totally complete palate built around a pristine and brightly lit core of vivacious dark fruits. It’s beautifully measured and finely structured, and at five years of age appears to have at least another five years ahead. An excellent cabernet and a certain winner for those who love the texture, purity and charm of this classic variety.

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.
