“Bright with energy and life coursing through its fine, balanced structure” 96 Points | Ray Jordan | Wine Pilot – Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc 2015

Review Date: Jun 2025

Brian Croser has made the decision to re-release this wine from what was a coolish vintage, not dissimilar to the 2021. It’s a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. And even after 10 years, it’s bright with energy and life coursing through its fine, balanced structure. Has a nice red fruit character, with touches of blackcurrant and cherry, along with a mulberry-like character that seems fairly typical. The tannins are fine, and the palate seamlessly integrated and balanced. This is a classy wine, that even after 10 years, has plenty more in the tank.
