2015 Frankland Estate Olmo's Reward Cabernet Franc Blend Organic , Frankland River

Olmo’s Reward is named after Dr Harold Olmo, the Californian viticulturist who in 1956 first identified the potential of the Frankland River region to produce premium wines. Cabernet Franc is the dominant component of Olmo’s Reward, typically malbec, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot play minor supporting roles giving additional complexity. A wine with complexity and subtlety yet an impressive underlying power

An estate-grown Bordeaux blend, throbbing with a juicy kaleidoscope of red, purple, blue and black fruits; fine tannins and carefully managed French oak add up to a win-win scenario.

95 points James Halliday Wine Companion

Youthful, deep red/purple colour, with a bright, briary and slightly peaty, iodine-like bouquet. It's full-bodied and firm, tight and concentrated, with abundant firm, drying tannins. Long finish. Already quite complex but it will reward long cellaring and deliver much more to the patient drinker. A big, solidly built but elegant cabernet. Very impressive. 16 MAY 2018 Drink 2021–2045
