Yalumba 2013 The Cigar Menzies Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)

Country: Australia / The Cigar Menzies Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Yalumba / Coonawarra

Menzies is the name of Yalumba’s Coonawarra estate, which is almost entirely devoted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Like most of the Yalumba wines, the oak levels have been pared back in recent vintages, allowing this wine’s cassis fruit to to shine. Hints of tobacco, bay leaf and sage bring complexity, while the tannins are fine, adding a softly dusty feel to the long finish.
