“Very good zone. Very worthwhile.” 95 Points | Mike Bennie | Wine Front – Tapanappa Whalebone Merlot Cabernet Franc 2015

Review Date: Jul 2025

This wine has been held back for a prestigious re-release. It of course was reviewed some time ago on WineFront, with applause and praise given.

It’s in a beautiful spot. Almost a ‘pinosity’ to the wine, suppleness, medium weight, satiny tannin profile, but for the salt bush, green olive and dried herb, the plummy undertow, we could be in fine pinot territory. That being said, it does justice to the varieties here, gentle but generous flavour, spice of oak seasoning, relaxed textural feel and a luxurious stretch to the wine. Very good zone. Very worthwhile.
