96 points – 2012 Whalebone Merlot Cab Franc

Author: James Halliday
Source: Wine Companion Magazine
Review Date: Jul 2015

Still has excellent crimson-purple colour; has spent close on 3 years making its way into bottle, an especially long time for a blend such as this, but it clearly needed it; there is a complex interplay between cedar, cigar box, blackcurrant, dried herbs and a persistent tattoo of fine-grained tannins on the very long palate.

96 points
