Is Whalebone Vineyard Merlot - Cabernet Franc a good wine?

What reviewers say

“Medium garnet red. Similar soil profile to Coonawarra- red fossil rich soil over limestone. The name comes from 37 million year old whale bones found in the soil. 2004/07/11 are weaker years - hot and dry and don't yield the perfume lift of top rated years like 2010, 2012-15.”

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

Summary

The very sweet fruit middle palate is matched by a significant bulk of tannin providing a fine grained and savoury finish.
