This is frequently one of the 'if you know, you know' cabernets in the sub-$30 bracket. It's got it all: supple, succulent and spicy fruit, fine yet firm, structuring tannins and great length of flavour. The characteristic ferrous, gravel, petrichor flavours endemic to Frankland cabernet are all there. Through the lens of the 2019 vintage, this is elegant and long, packing punch within the confines of its restraint.
