Mt Mary Quintet is an Australian Bordeaux-style red blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with the Quintet of five varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec) adding depth and complexity. The 2022 vintage delivers dense dark fruit, graphite and spice, and integrated oak, wrapped in polished tannins and keen acidity. Suitable for drinking now or with a few years of cellaring. Food-friendly with grilled steak, lamb, or game dishes.
