Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2015
A brilliant example of the red Bordeaux blend, this deeply flavoured, superbly balanced and profoundly structured red is one of the finest releases under this label. Sweet cassis, mulberries, dark cherries and plums with dusty, cedary oak overlie notes of chocolate, clove and dusty spice. Its medium-bodied, seamless palate of pristine sour-edged small dark berries cherries and plums drives tightly knit over a fine, faintly chalky spine, supported by gamey, cigarboxy undertones. Wrapped in a refreshing acidity, it retains shape and tautness, delivering the expectation of a long cellaring life.

Mount Mary
Mount Mary is one of the Yarra Valley's iconic estates. Developed by Dr John Middleton in the late 1960s, it has always followed its own path, drawing inspiration from France and the US. Shunning higher levels of alcohol and overt oak influence are central to the Mount Mary concept of balance and quality, ideals that have been retained by grandson Sam Middleton and his team. The 2013 red releases are stellar indeed, with the Quintet revealing a little more power and structure than the wines of yesteryear, but with classical balance and style, still weighing in at under 13%.
