Note di degustazione
The 2021 Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon is all about the tannins in the mouth. The fruit is red, purple and fine, but the tannins it flows through are chewy, twiggy and brambly; the tannins persist after the wine has gone, but they are not drying or obstructive. I have long been a fan of Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon. It is distinctly different from Margaret River in its dusty, fine and earthy splay of tannins (sometimes they are more rustic than their more westerly neighbors), and yet there is an effortlessness about them that is endlessly impressive—as this is. If there was a quibble here, it might be the acidity, which sits right at the top and back of the palate for me, but otherwise, it is superb. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Frankland River displays a focused core of blackcurrant and leafy herbs, with a subtle lining of cedar and well-chosen oak. This is a classic style, mid weight with a firm base of tannins and fresh layers of cassis and herbs. A finer style for sure, but well executed with ample tannins and a sustained finish to enjoy over the medium term.
The fine-boned, elegant and expressive 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Frankland River delivers precise leafy aromas topped by crushed fresh blackcurrants and gravel. It is compact and composed with a seamless balance between vibrant flavors and sinewy tannins before unwinding into a long, fine, silky finish.
