Notes:

The colour displays deep red with crimson shades with a red crimson hue. The bouquet is powerful with notes of violet, briar, dark mocha couverture and a hint of dry leaf forest floor. On the palate, The Menzies is rich and full bodied showing bright, ripe fruits of cassis and dark berries with savoury plums, and with sea-spray notes which are typical of The Menzies vineyard. The mid palate is full of structure and finishes with lingering powdery tannins.
