Frankland Estate 'Olmo's Reward' Cabernet Franc Blend 2011
- TASTING NOTE: "This estate-grown Bordeaux blend has become a model of consistency for an ever-increasing number of years. Cassis, blackcurrant, olive, spice, redcurrant, savoury tannins and oak all coalesce on the medium-bodied palate and its long finish. The balance is such that it is guaranteed to age with grace." 94 Points - Halliday
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: In a 1955 study of potential grape growing sites, renowned Californian viticulturalist Dr Harold Olmo identified Frankland River as one of the most promising prospects in Australia. The wines of Frankland Estate prove he was right. Founded in 1988 by Judi Cullam and Barrie Smith, this is indisputably one of the nation's most important and consistent cool climate producers. Since 2010, second-generation winemaker Hunter Smith has been joined in the winery by brother-in-law Brian Kent. Hunter and Brian have re-focused on every detail of their organically farmed vineyard and winery operation, with their entire suite of wines (Estate, Single Vineyard and flagship Smith-Cullam wines) garnering even more attention for this benchmark Great Southern producer.
