From the famed Menzies Vineyard in the heart of Coonawarra and named after former Prime Minister Sir Bob Menzies. Started off by former Yalumba winemaker Nat Cleghorn.

Yalumba, The Menzies, Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, 2018

Deep garnet. Freshness and clean lines with pure blackberry compote, torn bay, grated salted chocolate, floral violet, kisses of mint and rammed earth floor. Medium-full and structured. Fruit balance exceptional to the shy, elegant tannins that frame this so well and push the flavour long. Bittersweet blackberry fruit and creamy oak giving fullness and immediate approachability. Displaying more than an easy sense of being.
