2004 Mount Mary Quintet

The 2004 Quintet is a composition of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. David Middleton describes the wine in the following way: “This year’s blend is more Cabernet Sauvignon dominant than usual, though it is not obvious to taste. The beauty of the blend is in the complexity derived from the varietal mix. This inherent complexity avoids the need to play any tricks in the winery to add other flavours. None of us have seen a Quintet as densely coloured as this particular example”
