Wynns Cabernet Franc 2024

This is the first time we have seen a straight Cabernet Franc from Wynns and it is a cracker, suggesting that perhaps we might surely see more in the future. The fruit is sourced from the McKillop Vineyard in the northern part of Coonawarra. The 2024 harvest was considered to be so good for Cab Franc that it was time it went solo. Maturation was for six months in 3,000 litre French oak vats. A vibrant magenta/purple, the nose offers notes of cassis, raspberries, lead pencils, herbs and spices, plums, delicatessen meats, red cherries, hints of tomato bush and kirsch. This is well focused, finely balanced, exhibits juicy acidity, serious length and precise satiny tannins. A profound example of Cabernet Franc which will continue to provide pleasure for the next eight to ten years.
