Fleshy, savory, and nicely balanced, it is a different but equally valid expression of Shiraz than one finds in South Australia. 90pts Frankland Estate is one of Australia’s premier purveyors of Dry Riesling. The 2008 releases are uniformly outstanding. Author: Jay Miller Publication:   Stephen Tanzer International Wine Cellar (Sep/Oct 09) Title:   Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 2005 Frankland Estate Shiraz Isolation Ridge Vineyard Frankland River Comment: Inky ruby. Dark cherry, black raspberry, licorice and smoke aromas, complicated by dried violet and cracked pepper. Smooth and rich on the palate, which offers spicy, focused red and dark berry flavors and a supple texture. Finishes with velvety, broad tannins and alluringly spicy persistence. 91 points Author: Josh Raynolds         How do I download Hi-Res Labels?
