Cullen, Margaret River, Western Australia “Diana Madeline” Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 95 Points



Blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, Bright ruby red with purple rim.

Clean, high intensity, typical Cabernet austerity, with ripe cassis, blackcurrant, earthy, gravelly, lead pencil and cedar wood complexity, subtle oaking, fantastic purity with spot on ripeness, mineral expression.

Dry, with a Medoc like structure, very fresh, vibrant, moderate plus ripe tannins, long and persistent, savory, tobacco, cigar farewell, purity follows through, now until 2025+

Cullen, Margaret River, Western Australia “Kevin John” Chardonnay 2010 94 Points



Bright, pale gold with green reflections.
Clean, high intensity, citrus, orange blossom, excellent purity of fruit, honey with subtle oaking lending vanilla, rich style.
Dry with residual sugar, rich profile and broad, buttery, pure and rich, expressive tanginess, nutty, almondy with oak giving a peppery, spicy core, now until 2020.
