Pauletts Cabernet Merlot 2004
Simple, rather jammy and meaty flavours of cassis and dark plums overlie slightly raw and mocha-like oak, with undertones of mint and dried herbs. There’s plenty of forward intensity, but it finishes with a powerful extract of hard-edged tannin as well as herbal and metallic influences. A rustic style Ð it needs time to flesh out.

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.
