Cullen, Margaret River (Western Australia, Australia) “Diana Madeline” 2004

($70, Young’s Market): A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Cullen’s flagship wine is named in honor of Vanya’s mother. Intense but balanced and layered, it has great complexity and finesse. Floral notes and aromatic hints of herbs and spice get this wine off to a great start, and nicely interwoven ripe fruit flavors finish with supple tannins. It’s a marvelous tribute. 95 Michael Apstein Mar 14, 2006
