The Cigar Cabernet Sauvignon is named after the unique cigar-shaped strip of rich terra rossa soil that defines the famous Coonawarra wine region. It is a contemporary medium to full bodied wine with rich fruit characters and soft round tannins, making it one of our most popular fine wines.
Tasting Note Dark red plum in colour, medium to full depth in hue. The bouquet shows bright cherry, chocolate and musk fruit aromas supported by savoury cedar oak. The palate is vibrant with blueberries and rhubarb, balanced by chocolate and mint. The tannins have a mouth-filling praline texture on the long and lingering finish.
Terroir Our Menzies Estate Vineyard lies in the heart of Coonawarra on the famous terra rossa soil over limestone. This valuable patch of land is the holy grail of all Cabernet purists; with soil vivid red in colour, it is perfect for growing exceptional full-bodied red wines.
Treatment Matured for 18 months in 18% new French barriques, balance in 1 year and older French and Hungarian barriques and hogsheads.

...Expressive, leafy-edged fruit characters of blackberry and blackcurrant with hints of briar, licorice, dark soy, Old Jamaica chocolate, tobacco and clove. Fleshy and sweetly fruited with grippy, sandy tannins, bright acidity and a lingering trail of cassis and spice on the finish.
