Includes 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot, 4% malbec and 3% cabernet franc. Medium to deep purple/red: fairly light colour for a cabernet, but the hue is excellent. Clean, fragrant violets and red fruits fill the aroma. Medium-bodied at the most, it has appealing youthful flavour and balance, length and harmony, with a thread of fine-grained tannins running throughout the palate. A bright and vibrant wine, not a 'try hard' style, but very elegant, and effortless. Tremendous length, with the tannins making an important contribution. Not a very powerful Cullen, but pretty and will no doubt live and age well.
