2019 Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2019 Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the estate-owned Riversdale vineyard, which is a remarkable place, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, with a vast, open-sky feel to it. The wine is layered with smoky peat and tapenade, black berries, lichen and iron, iodine and pan drippings. Dried bay leaf and cocoa round out the finish. It's in a quiet place for now, with no doubt a long future ahead of it. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
