Tasting Notes
Aroma:
Blackcurrant, violet, licorice, cassia bark, graphite, blueberry compote, pomegranate, tobacco, mahogany, and hints of balsamic strawberry.
Palate:
Mid-weight and textural with finely integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a rounded, seamless mouthfeel. Layers of black fruit, herbs, and earth are anchored by a mineral core. Built for longevity yet offers early drinking appeal.
Vineyard & Winemaking
Produced at the renowned Mount Mary Vineyard in the Yarra Valley, the Quintet is crafted from a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Matured in oak for depth and structure, bottled with precision by winemaker David Middleton.
