Ray Jordan’s review
Predominantly cabernet franc, with a little cabernet sauvignon for structure and a touch of merlot for flesh. The wine shows a delightful fragrance of scented red fruits and a hint of tobacco leaf. The palate has structure, delicacy, fine-grained tannins, and silky smooth oak supporting the style perfectly. A standout example of cabernet franc in Margaret River, showing what the variety can achieve with a little help.
