This is the second wine of the Cullen reds, typically where the juice that misses the final cut for Diana ends up, making it one of the true great value reds of Margaret River.

In their words - 2024 vintage was the hottest, driest and earliest harvest on record. Rainfall turned off like a tap at the end of September 2023, with nominally no rain until the season broke in May 2024. But with sunshine comes flavour and 2024 does not disappoint in fruit weight and concentration, with small but precise yielding 4.2 ton/Ha at Cullen Vineyard for the Cabernet Sauvignon.

2024 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a straight blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, with has created a wine of great depth supported by delicious fine-grained tannins.

Critics thoughts - 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. 94 Points Gary Walsh The Wine Front
