2019 Mount Mary Vineyard, Quintet, Yarra Valley, Australia

Description

The 2019 Quintet is made from 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine has a light, elegant nose of fresh but ripe blackcurrants followed by a layered palate of creamy, sweet blackberry fruit. There is a fine, gravel core to this with a leafy hint of the Cabernet Franc coming through, adding freshness. This is a mineral and pure New World expression of a Bordeaux blend, and one which is both beautifully sophisticated and wonderfully harmonious.
