Yalumba Cabernet Sauvignon Menzies The Cigar 2011

Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaFrom the cellar. Ink, leather and cured meats open this structural, dense Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon, now softened with some bottle age. Worked leather in texture and weight, with medicinal red cherries, dried plum and a tug of dark cocoa dusted tannins to frame the ripe, dried fruit to a dusky floral finish. The Menzies Vineyard is in the heart of the cigar-shaped Coonawarra terra rossa red soils. This was matured for 16 months in predominantly French oak, hogsheads and barriques, 25 percent of them new. If you have this vintage in your cellar, this is the time to drink.Tasted: 22 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:
