Wine Description
Organically grown and made, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Wafts of dark chocolate, cedar and dried Italian mixed herbs are complemented by lifted red currants and mulberry. The palate is opulent yet focused. Ripe fruit abounds, balanced by mouth coating chalky tannin, which gives the wine texture and length. Ripe mulberry flavours intertwine with cacao and tobacco leaf.

Winemaker's Bio
Brian Kent grew up in Perth and has a background in biology, along with a postgraduate degree in Viticulture and Oenology from Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand. His interest in winemaking developed during a holiday while working at Majestic Wine in London, before continuing to travel and complete vintages in different wine regions across the globe. In 2003 Brian completed two vintages: one in Frankland River, and the other in the Russian River, a sub-region of the Sonoma Valley in California. In 2005 he went on to complete another vintage in the Rias Baixas wine region in northwest Spain, where they specialized in Albarinho, a wine with similar characteristics to Riesling.
After 6 years of wine making Brian settled in Frankland, joining the family business at Frankland Estate and is thriving in his new position.
