Mary Kathleen is named after Lloyd family matriarch, Mary Kathleen "Molly" Lloyd, one of Coriole’s founders. It is produced from three small, select vineyards on Coriole estate, planted between 1968 and 1986. The wine was first produced in 1992.
Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced red to black currant and mulberry aromas infused with bay leaf fill the nostrils trailed by some earthy tobacco, black olive and spicy cedar notes. Rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruits are concentrated and powerful yet beautifully refined in their feel. Cedary tobacco characters, subtle earthy black olive and infusions of bay leaf line the back half. Fine grained tannins provide great structure. Superb depth finishing long and detailed.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
