Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2002
Very fine, elegant, cool-climate cabernet blend whose pristine fruit and finely handled oak integrate tightly with a satiny spine of fine-grained tannins. Its perfume of cassis and violets reveals a hint of dusty herbal influence, undergrowth and tightly measured cedar/dark chocolate oak. Smooth and stylish, it’s pristine and silky, presenting exceptional length and brightness of fruit over lightly herbal and tobaccoey nuances of undergrowth and sweet oak.

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%.
