Pauletts Cabernet Merlot 2002
Smooth, silky and harmonious, this lightly minty Clare red blend has a cassis, plum and red berry-like fragrance backed by floral nuances of dried herbs and menthol, with sweet vanilla/cedar oak in support. Long and even, it’s brightly flavoured with small berries and undertones of eucalypt, while cedary oak and firm, but fine tannins lend structure and mouthfeel. Pleasing balance and brightness.

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.
