2018 Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon WINEMAKER LARRY CHERUBINO’S NOTES Grapes from block twelve of the over fifty year old Justin Vineyard at Frankland River WA were hand-picked, the berries run down an individual berry sorting table into small vessels to macerate and ferment on skins for 4-6 weeks. Aged fifteen months in new tight grained low toast French oak, prior to rigorous barrel selection to complete this final blend. Poised. Classic blackcurrant. Incredibly soft tannins. Tremendous length.
