The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Conditions were very favourable with good rains filling the soils during winter and weather conditions over summer allowing the vines to set a low to moderate crop of grapes. Awards & Accolades: 9 gold

Cellar guide:

12-15 Years

Last tasted:

August 2008, Peter Gambetta, Winemaker

Notes:

The colour is deep red with crimson hues. The nose is that of a powerful cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of dark cherry, violets and a hint of sea spray. There are savoury nuances of pimento, cedar and briar which will evolve as the wine matures. The wine is a full bodied with the early fruit flavours and sweetness quickly joined by substantial grainy tannins giving the wine length and presence.
