Franklin Tate Estates 'Tate' Alexanders Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, Australia 2019 Oakville mineral and herbal finishGive this ample time to open in glass or decanter. Once it does, a barnyard reductive note blows off revealing plump red and black fruit, medicinal herbs, dark chocolate and a distinctive green oak note that's a little distracting. The palate is young and tightly wound, driven, at the moment by oak and tannins. The fruit gets lost in the mix. Wine Enthusiast
