Description
Yalumba The Menzies cabernet sauvignon
Dark cherry red with a crimson hue. The bouquet is elegant and inviting, notes of cedar and licorice combine with rich, ripe cassis, violets and the quintessential Coonawarra ‘sea spray’ note. The palate opens with a burst of cassis and mocha. It is structural, yet generous, dark and brooding with restraint and the promise of enjoyment for years to come. The tannins are sublime, giving an insight to the ageability of this wine, yet in its youth, it is enjoyable as an elegant full-bodied red wine.
Enjoy with a pomegranate and fennel glazed rack of Limestone Coast lamb.
Since 1987, the Hill-Smith family has counted itself amongst
those fortunate enough to produce an estate grown Coonawarra
Cabernet Sauvignon. To own a vineyard upon that famous
terra rossa soil over limestone is the holy grail of all Cabernet
Sauvignon purists. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist
intervention and small batch winemaking has resulted in The
Menzies’ reputation as one of the best wines of its type to emerge
from the region – a wine of longevity, elegance and structure.
