Frankland Estate Shiraz 2023

A nice example of cool climate Shiraz, with cracked pepper, hints of hung meat, a juiciness to the acid profile and moderate alcohol all contributing to a medium bodied wine with soft edges. Recommended at an every day price point. - Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars. 

The thing you get with this is a sense of pure shiraz fruit. An effortless drink, soft and plush, dark cherry, mocha, cola, salted licorice, mint leaf, clove, but in all that a wonderful harmony, a pleasing and raspy grunt of tannin, the core all sloshy and fun. It's so pleasing here, does well for the variety, and the entry fee is very well judged. Right on. 92 points, drink 2026-2030, Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion.
