Bleasdale 2005 Frank Potts Red Wine Red (Langhorne Creek)

Country: Australia / Frank Potts Red Wine
Variety: Cabernet Blend South Australia
Winery: Bleasdale / Langhorne Creek

There’s plenty of vanillin and cedary oak in this wine, but it’s easily balanced by impressive levels of cassis and blackberry fruit. The texture in the mouth is creamy and supple, and the finish is long and vanilla-laden but silky, without any harsh wood tannins. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec, with bits of Petit Verdot and Merlot.
