Coonawarra The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This Coonawarra wine exhibits a medium crimson color with a hue of crimson. Its aroma profile is quintessential to Coonawarra, featuring ozone, violet, and a fresh burst of blueberries and choc mint. The palate strikes a balance between youthfulness and complexity, showcasing notes of blueberry, violet, and chocolate, accompanied by refined fruit flavors and very fine tannins. Despite its structural youth, the wine hints at its ageability. The 2017 vintage's wet conditions were followed by a cooler growing season, leading to delayed yet flavorful picking. Aged for 18 months in a combination of new and older French hogsheads and barriques, this wine presents a refined, full-bodied character. ABV 13.5%
