This delicious wine, which was made for consumption in the next few years, comprises a blend of the main Bordeaux grape varieties. Although Cabernet Sauvignon is the main contributor (35%), this is closely followed by Malbec (27%) and Merlot (25%), with Petit Verdot (12%) and Cabernet Franc (1%) playing a smaller but important role. The diversity of the grape varieties and the maturation of the wine in French oak, of which as much as 40% was new, accounts for the quality and complexity of Cullens’ entry level red wine.
