“A wine that reverberates throughout your whole body” 96 Points | Shanteh Wale | Halliday Wine Companion – Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernets Merlot Franc 2021

Review Date: Jun 2025

A blend of 53/16/16/15% Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Shiraz. Matured in 50% new French barriques for 18 months. A wine that is as vivid as the imagery of the whale skeleton found buried beneath the vineyard. Fresh figs, boysenberry and Chinese bayberry. Tea, rose bud, goji and pomegranate molasses. There is a heart of red fruit with surrounding coffee and mocha spice. The palate is a weaving thread of silky tannins; Xavier has such talent for texture and expansion of a wine’s length and dimension. A wine that reverberates throughout your whole body.
