The Mount Mary Vineyard Quintet Red Blend 2018 is arguably one of the finest Bordelais-style blends coming out of Australia. It is a testament to what a Pinot Noir-focused winemaker, Sam Middleton, from a cool-climate region can create when given the opportunity to work with Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. The palate bursts with rich dark plums, raspberries, melted chocolate, and a refreshing lift of freshly cut mint.
