Yalumba The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon wine hails from Coonawarra, Australia. With a deep ruby-red colour, it boasts a bouquet of blackcurrant, violets and vanilla. On the palate, this wine impresses with rich black cherry flavours mingling seamlessly with hints of mint and eucalyptus, marrying perfectly with the subtle oak undertones. The mature round tannins add structure whilst the lengthy finish leaves traces of dark chocolate and spice. It’s an elegant and complex wine that truly reflects the character and terroir of Coonawarra. Best paired with hearty meat dishes or enjoyed on its own for a special occasion.

Tasting Notes

Full depth in colour with a plum red hue. The bouquet leads with violet and lilac floral notes to the tangy counterpoint of seaspray and pepper. The palate is rich and powerful; red fruits and dark chocolate on a robust tannin framework. The finish is long, complex and well worth contemplating
