Australia’s Best Cabernet Franc

The Young Guns of Wine has very kindly included us in their listing of ‘Australia’s Best Cabernet Franc’.

Jensen and Stock both had this in their top six wines from the blind tasting. “I’m a simple character at times, I occasionally just want a wine to be delicious and that’s exactly what I think this is,” said Jensen, “It’s Cherry Starburst to a tee, sarsaparilla and cherry cola, really aromatic and almost heady. Similar on the palate – its fresh, it’s fun, it feels like you could give it 20 in the fridge and then take it to sit in a park.” While Stock’s tasting note picked out characters of, “Baked spice, nutmegs, cinnamon, cedar, tobacco, candied orange, cloves – very spicy perfumed and integrated. High acid forward and lovely tannins, perhaps a little bit young and will benefit with time in bottle.”
