Sweet black fruits - plums. Only medium weight - restrained. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. 2012 was a cooler more moderate growing season, more claret style says Sam Middleton. This is not one of the great Quintets IMO. At its best Quintets is one of the best Cabernet blends in Australia. It still reinforces the fact that the Yarra Valley is one of the better terroirs for Bordeaux blends in Australia. Not for long cellaring. This is first of 3 of the 2012 vintage I have in my cellar. — 7 days ago

One of the best wines and Cabernets in the tasting. Made by Sam Kaplan. 95-97 with 10 years of proper cellaring.

It is blended from the following sites; Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, Weitz Vineyard, and Oakville Ranch Vineyard. Not inexpensive $300.

The name, Memento Mori, is taken from an ancient Latin philosophy that reminds us of our mortality and the inevitability of death. So, forgo patience, I guess?

Very reduced initially - some manure notes. With air it becomes much more pleasant, moving into struck match, lemon pith and orchard fruit, mineral and bright acid ⚡️ — 4 years ago

Color of dark purple, thick looking with decent legs. Nose of chocolate, dark fruits, strawberry, leather, some more blackberries, and fruit acidic note. Taste is smooth, quite mouthful and silky, slightly sweet with soft tannins, some more ripe grapes, borderline grape juice, vanilla, bitter graphite, and cocoa. Aftertaste shows some warmth, medium long. Just a bit watery. Easy to drink with flavors. Nice find at this price tag. — 3 years ago
