Frankland Estate Olmo's Reward Red Blend 2013

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.

This is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Malbec with a small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon also included. Opaque black dark red colour with a bright dark purple hue. Aromas of subtle blackcurrant and dark cherries meet up with a hint of black olive, cedary cigar box characters, earth and spice. Medium weight and very elegant the palate features a refined flavour profile of subtle blackcurrants mixed with dark cherries, a touch of earth, cedar and spice. Slightly dryish fine grained tannins with the mouthfeel being a touch restrained. Long aftertaste of dark cherries, subtle blackcurrant, faint cigar box, earth and spicy cedar.
