Last tasted:

Notes:

Unmistakably Cabernet Sauvignon, the nose is full, rich and ripe; reminiscent of blackcurrants, cedar furniture, bay leaves and anise. As with recent vintages of 'The Menzies' the wine opens with a full berry attack building to a round full mid palate of hint and oak. The wine is full bodied with great length given by soft, velvety tannins.
