Goedhuis, September 2023
Found further inland, Frankland River wines are the product of their more continental climate. With a beautiful fragrance on the nose, combining violets, blackcurrant, and cracked black pepper, the palate is opulent, while a lovely zip of acidity keeps the wine on its toes. Made from heritage clones, with 3 years spent slumbering in oak, the slatey mineral edge is tempered by silk-soft tannins and a vibrancy. This will age gracefully for years to come. Drink 2023-2035.

James Suckling, September 2023, Score: 95
Blackcurrants, crushed stone, and oyster shell with some seaweed aromas and flavors. Hints of tar. Medium body, fine and caressing tannins. Delicious finish. So drinkable now but will age beautifully. Screw cap.

Matthew Jukes, September 2023
2018 Cherubino Ovale Clonal Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Riversdale Vineyard exhibits far more style and grace than it ought to at this price. With a beautiful volume of cassis fruit, and skin tannins that rake the palate rhythmically as they glide by, this is a stellar creation. If you love Napa or Bolgheri Cabs, this will seem super-elegant by comparison, given it is not oak-soaked, and in terms of value, it soars above any examples I can think of from both regions.
