2002 Cabernet Franc
This wine won a Gold Medal and Top of its Class in the Adelaide Hills Wine Show.
Last year a Cabernet Franc was chosen as the Best Red Wine at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show. This year the Leabrook Estate Cabernet Franc was beaten by a whisker for the same title. We are very pleased with this beautiful rich, mouth filling fruit driven wine, not overpowered by oak and having mid palate fullness, a characteristic of the variety, and firm, fine tannins balancing the rich smoothness evident at this very early stage of its life.
- "Lovely big, spicy stewed plums, chocolate and licorice on the nose. Excellent firm fleshy/spicy palate with solid acid backbone and soft tannins."
**** Four Stars Winestate May/June 2004 - "Aromatic and scented; light to medium-bodied;vibrant spicy/tangy fruit and persistent finish and aftertaste; gossamer tannis. Reminiscent of Chinon."
Five star rating, 94 points Halliday 2005 Wine Companion
