Description
David Franz Plane Turning Right 2017
David Franz Plane Turning Right 2016 is an intertwining muthafunkylicious bottle of just plain YUM! Grape varietals: 60% Merlot, 21% Petit Verdot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Malbec.
Vermillion colour. A bouquet of red cherries and juicy plums, trailing aromas of tobacco, leather, cedar and a hint of smoke. Very drinkable red with fine tannins. Flavours on the palate branch out from a cherry and plum core to include cassis, strawberry liquorice, blackberry and chocolate. Gentle but super long finish.
The name of this 'Bordeaux blend', Plane Turning Right, is a nod to the right bank of Bordeaux where blends are dominated by Merlot. 60% Merlot from the David Franz home block, 21% Petit Verdot grown by Bernie Kaeding and Sam Kurtz on their edge of Moppa block, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon from the David Franz Horse Paddock block, and 7% Malbec from John Lienert’s Gommersol block.
Ageing in oak hogsheads, the wine has a gorgeous finesse to it. No fining or filtration.
