The 2019 Tapanappa Merlot Cabernet Franc has deep purple-crimson colour intensity and hue.  The aroma has plum and blackberry ripeness with the slightly minty dried spice of the Whalebone terroir.  The texture is immediately evident in the mouth, and the flavours are consistent with the aroma and bouquet. The tannins provide a savoury and satisfying finish.  The 2019 Tapanappa Merlot-Cabernet Franc has a long ageing potential.
