{"product_id":"2024-cullen-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot","title":"2024 Cullen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade from biodynamically farmed fruit across both the Cullen and Mangan vineyards, this is a more relaxed take on the flagship Diana Madeline, though the pedigree is unmistakable. The fruit—mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a good splash of Merlot—was harvested early in February during one of the driest vintages on record, bringing in small but deeply concentrated berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation was wild and gentle, with skin contact ranging from 5 to 11 days depending on the parcel. It was then matured in mostly seasoned French oak for 8 months (only 23% new), allowing the wine to soften without losing its focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can crack into this now and enjoy its plush feel and fine tannins, but give it a few years and it’ll flesh out beautifully. A quiet overachiever in Cullen’s line-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A very purple tasting wine here with a mix of blue and black fruits, pimento\/capsicum, baking spice, dried roses, and something a bit ferrous. It’s medium-bodied, but quite thick and chewy, not polished up too much, and also has some bitter dark chocolate in the mix, blackcurrant, dried herbs, balanced acidity, and a finishes with some roast red capsicum and a fair bit of perfume. Lots of Cullen in your glass at pretty fair price, if you take my meaning.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Cullen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141658390900,"sku":"hzs1789956268003","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2024-cullen-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot_1.png?v=1789956270","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2024-cullen-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
