Description
The Menzies is an iconic and legendary Australian Cabernet from South Australia’s Coonawarra region… famous for its red ‘Terra Rossa’ soils and world class Cabernet. Menzies formidable reputation has evolved over decades and this 2019 vintage winning “Australia’s Champion Cabernet of the Year” from all Cabernets & Regions in Australia, plus triumphing over Cabernets many times its price… will simply cement its place in Aussi wine fokelore. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist intervention, small batch winemaking plus maturation in 5-year air dried oak… nothing is left on the table in terms of expense and nurture from the vine to the glass. Concentrated, classic Cabernet in a deeply evolving palate wrapped in velvety tannin and threaded by texture. Grand Cabernet to savour from 2027 - 2035+ … we suggest decanting for an hour pre-serving if enjoying prior to 2027. In Bordeaux parlance… it’s the price of a 5th Growth with the quality of a 1st Growth!
Smells
Pure cassis, leather, cigar box, mint, dark chocolate, and florals erupt from the glass.
Tastes
Concentrated blackberry and currant laced fruits roll over the palate in a velvety texture. Endearing notes of chocolate, mint, leather, and cigar box add to the dimension and complexity of this boisterous yet sophisticated Coonawarra Cabernet. Eminently drinkable now if you want to experience its youthful exuberance. If you're patient though, the Coonawarra beauty will prevail, evolving this wine into the multi-dimensional, harmonious, and delicious Cabernet we know and love. Enjoy with herb-crusted rack of lamb, rib roast, rump steak or a roasted vegetable creation.
