Coonawarra

The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

• Vintage quality: 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.
