Mary Kathleen is named after Mary Kathleen Lloyd, one of the founders of Coriole. It is produced from three small vineyards at Coriole, planted between 1968 and 1984. First produced in 1992. The proportion of Merlot generally varies between 10% and 30% although 1994 vintage was Merlot dominant. The style is dependent on vintage conditions and in general shows black currant aromas with a well structured medium weighted palate that will reward cellaring for over 10 years.
Tasting Brief: 2007 "Mary Kathleen" Cabernet / Merlot 2005
Aromatics of redcurrant, ripe mint and perfumed rose petals. With breathing, polished wood and a smokey cigar box aromas become evident.
The palate shows bright fruit - lifted berries and blackcurrant with a creamy texture. A brooding wine with structural tannin and good length. As with previous vintages of MK, this 2007 will age long and gracefully.
