Coonawarra

The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Vintage quality:

Spring temperatures were mild with a lower than average rainfall. The crop from the Menzies vineyard was lowest since the vineyard was planted; this lead to the grapes ripening two weeks earlier than usual and the flavours being of incredible intensity. Awards & Accolades: 2 Commendations, 2 Gold

Notes:

Yalumba The Menzies 2000 is a stunning deep crimson red in colour. A complex meld of cassis, soy and a tangy sea spray note of iodine intertwine to create a nose of full intensity. Medium bodied and well-balanced, the palate displays flavours of rich berry fruits and chocolate characters carrying through to a lengthy velvet finish.
