Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2006
Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2006
Region: WA- Margaret River
Size: 750ml

Tasting Note:

"...a very refined and elegant Diana Madeline and a wine that at 13% alcohol demonstrates unequivocally that fruit intensity and depth do not require a high alcohol content!

This wine is very reminiscent of the Cabernet Merlot made in 1982, a year that was likewise very cool and resulted in harvesting occurring appreciably later than usual and at relatively low Baumés. Some idea of the potential of the 2006 Diana Madeline can be gauged by the fact that the 1982 Cabernet Merlot is still drinking very well and showing no signs of being on its last legs.

The 2006 Diana Madeline was made from a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. The wine was matured for 15 months in French barriques, of which 40% were new.

Colour: Deep ruby red / garnet with a crimson meniscus.
Bouquet: A combination of fresh and complex chocolate and black berry Cabernet fruit aromas.
Palate: Elegant, rich and flavoursome. Classic fresh, “crunchy” black berry Cabernet fruit are backed by firm but unobtrusive tannins. Great length and leaves lovely lingering flavours. Delicious!
Food: Lamb, beef, goat and veal.
Cellaring: At least 20 years."

Sourced from Cullen vineyard.

About - Cullen
In the early 1960's detailed climatic studies of various regions in Southwestern Australia revealed that during the winegrowing season, Margaret River's climate was similar to that of Bordeaux, particularly Pomerol. The conclusion that Margaret River was ideal for viticulture was first tested in Wilyabrup in 1966, when Diana and Kevin Cullen planted a trial acre of vines. The encouraging results led to the couple planting 18 acres of vines on their sheep and cattle farm in 1971. Cullen Wines has since evolved into an estate specialising in quality wines from single vineyard sites. Cullen
