Coonawarra

The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon 1988

Vintage quality:
Created with a blend of early picked fruit and later picked fruit with more developed flavours.
Cellar guide:
10+ Years
Last tasted:
December 1990, Simon Adams, Winemaker
Notes:
The final wine has a nose of lifted red berry Cabernet aromas with toasty American oak. The palate shows length and consistency balanced with creamy oak tannins. A classic reflection of the vineyard, the variety and the region. A sleeper as a young wine, it will show its full colours from now onwards.
