Pauletts Cabernet Merlot 2009
Evolving leathery, earthy aromas of red berries, dark plums and cedar/chocolate oak reveal nuances of mint and menthol. ItÕs long and elegant with some vibrant, juicy forward fruit, but itÕs also slightly greenish, with both under and overripened influences supported by faintly edgy, metallic tannins. It should soften and flesh out over the short to medium term.

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.
