“Wrattonbully the hero here” 92+ points | Mike Bennie – 2017 Whalebone Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz

Author: Mike Bennie

Review Date: May 2021

Seaspray, seaweed scents, a dusting of clove, cassis, some eucalyptus too. Evocative perfume. Dark fruit flavours, more of the salty, seaweed thing to taste, some saltbush greenery too, chewy, clove-y oak laid on with late coming tannins building to a nice chew. Good concentration, flow, suppleness, though a bit dry and tangy on the finish. That being said, there’s a really pleasing old school, good school feel to everything here.
