Pauletts Cabernet Merlot 2012
Stylish, measured and evenly paced, this gentle and finely crafted cabernet blend reveals a deep, dark-fruited bouquet of plums, cassis and a hint of cherry backed by cedar/chocolate oak and a trace of dried herbs. It’s smooth and polished, fullish to medium in weight, with a pristine core of fruit that builds intensity down its long, fine-grained spine towards its dusty, savoury finish.

Pauletts
A small maker of a typically regional selection of Clare Valley table wines, Pauletts is reinventing itself from a quality perspective. Its trio of finely crafted, elegant rieslings represent the real strength of the brand, while the rich and deeply flavoured Andreas Shiraz is typically firm and cellarworthy. The reserve level Antonina Riesling has now hit a very high level of quality for two consecutive seasons, elevating Pauletts into the region's elite with this signature white variety.
