2007 Tapanappa Wines, Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc, Australia

Tapanappa Wines, Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc, Australia
2007 Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc and displays the very ripe fruit flavours and texture of this exceptionally small, warm and early vintage.

The Whalebone Vineyard is a special terroir for these two demanding varieties with a heat summation of 1400 to 1500ºC days and its bright red clay loam based on 37 million years-old limestone.

The Merlot provides hallmark ripe plum and fruit cake aromas and flavours with big solid tannins and the Cabernet Franc slides in hand in glove with the Merlot providing floral aromatics and a silky tannin finish. Complementing these typical varietal expressions, the Whalebone Vineyard terroir provides its own unique thumbprint of smoky Eucalypt, earth and anise. Despite the ripeness the alcohol is in balance and the silky ripe tannins meld with the ripe fruit flavours.Tapanappa Wines
