"I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this new release from Vanya Cullen. It is probably the best young Australian red wine I have ever tasted an instant classic. It is still youthful but everything is beautifully balanced. With fruit intensity (think dark currants and berries), quality French oak (69% new barriques), hints of tobacco leaf and superb structure, this is on the same level as first and second growth Bordeaux from the best years. A tribute to Cullens mother, Margaret River wine industry pioneer Diana Cullen, this is a blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon with small batches of petit verdot, merlot, malbec and cabernet franc. The bees knees and Im happy to give it 99/100 (not something I do very often). You wont be disappointed." - Winsor Dobbin

"Ripe red cherry, blackcurrant and redcurrant, baking spices, violet and mint perfume, perfect mocha oak in support. Medium bodied, fresh and vibrant, bursting with small berried fruit, a fine spread of pitch perfect graphite tannin, clean acid line, beautiful mouth-perfume, and a savoury tobacco laced finish of soaring length. Pulsating with life and Cabernet purity. A worthy sibling to the monumental 2012 vintage. " - Gary Walsh, Wine Front

"Named in honour of her mother Diana Madeline, Vanya Cullen continues to pioneer Australia's answer to the Bordeaux blend with this 89% Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. The adherence to Biodynamic principles produces a wine bursting with vitality and life. And if ever there was a release that epitomised this wine's great reputation, it is this 2014." - Winehouse
