“A super elegant wine, stylish and most polished.” 95 Points | Ray Jordan | Wine Pilot – Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernets Merlot Franc 2021

Review Date: Jun 2025

This wine is a product of a very cool vintage in Wrattonbully, which in many ways suits the style of wines that Brian Croser is making. It’s a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up more than half the blend, with contributions from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Shiraz. It has a delicious aroma, displaying bright red fruits with deeper mulberry and some nice blackcurrant characters, and just a touch of glazed cherry. The structure retains a firmness, but the tannins are fine and chalky, and the flesh wraps neatly around it. Lovely, sweet fruit and a fine, fine-grained tannin finish. This is a super elegant wine, stylish and most polished.
