“Winemaking is now in the hands of Vanya Cullen, daughter of the founders; she is possessed of an extraordinarily good palate. It is impossible to single out any particular wine from the top echelon; all are superb.”
- James Halliday
Note on Diana Madeline
The 2001 vintage was the "transition" year, you will often see it listed in auction catalogues or wine databases as "2001 Cullen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot (Diana Madeline)" to help collectors track the lineage. The estate Cab Sav Merlot prior to that year is the same Wine as the Diana Madeline you all know today. Just a mid century rebrand.
