Mount Mary Quintet 2024

Mount Mary Quintet 2024

46% Cabernet sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 5% Cabernet franc, 5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot.

Blackcurrant, fresh blackberry, raspberry, pencil shavings, violet and dried roses, a little roast red capsicum, along with some vanilla cream. It’s medium-bodied, a lively carriage of acidity, a fine dusting of grainy tannin, with a gently sappy finish of outstanding length. This is Yarra Cabernet in full flight, and such a delicious and engaging wine. Vivacious and so charming. Yes. 96+Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

The 2024 Quintet is perfumed and so balanced, leading with notes of cassis, sweet tobacco, dusted licorice, raspberry seed, rose petals and sandalwood. The palate is ultra-fine, and the tannins are everywhere and not at all obvious. It’s a fine art to get so much structure and shape into the wine without it being obvious. The wine is brambly, leafy and a little minty; and having said everything else about the ripeness of fruit and tannin, it is this character more than anything that lends itself to the very long haul ahead. This is a beautiful wine, as usual. 97 Points - Erin Larkin, Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.

47/28/15/6/4% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot/malbec. A medium, very bright purple. With aromas of pure blackcurrant, crushed violets, pencil-box shavings and graphite, this soars effortlessly from the glass. Medium to full bodied, this has an intensity on the palate that’s in perfect harmony with the wine’s firm yet svelte, long-chained tannins. Another superb Quintet destined to cellar well for over the next 10–20 years. 98 Points - Phillip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
