 The aroma is of ripe Merlot blackberry and fruit cake with no leafiness decorated by the floral and spice of Cabernet Franc. The varietal complexity is underpinned by an earthy, smoky Eucalypt bouquet typical of the Whalebone terroir.  The flavours are rich and strong with an underlying fresh varietal complexity.

Only 300 cases made. The 2008 Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc is the product of a warm and ripe vintage. The aromas are a blend of the Christmas cake mixed dried fruit of the Merlot and the perfumed violets and spice of the Cabernet Franc overlying the terroir imprint of the Whalebone Vineyard of smoky Eucalypt and fresh earth. The flavours are ripe and sumptuous with a massive core of sweet fruit of Merlot and its big tannin imprint, moderated by the silky texture, spicy flavours and fine-grained tannin impression of the Cabernet Franc. This is a wine for hearty winter dishes of braised and slow cooked meats and roasted vegetables. 2008 Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc has the fruit density and freshness and the tannin structure to improve with at least a couple of decades in bottle.
