Description
2010 was a wonderful warm and dry vintage, perfect conditions for the Whalebone Vineyard terroir to elicit the very best from the old Cabernet vines.
The warm vintage Cabernet from Whalebone has ripe plum and cassis and the Shiraz provides a Eucalypt and anise spice nuance.
The fruit flavours are sweet at the core but the wine retains the elegance, savory balance and refined but determined tannins, which are hallmarks of the Whalebone terroir.
2010 Tapanappa Cabernet Shiraz is the product of a great warm vintage and “is a pure expression of the unique terroir of the Whalebone Vineyard.” - Brian Croser, Winemaker
