The deep magenta colour shows vibrancy and hints of the rich, expressive wine to come. The aromatics are opulent, with a perfume of violets, dark soy, hints of spice and the warm, comforting mélange of black fruits. The palate is eloquent with blackcurrants, red plums and clove spice melding with dark chocolate. The wine has a beautiful structure with fine tannins, balanced acidity and a lingering finish. Barbecued lamb loin chops or chickpea, mushroom and pine nut burgers with a red onion and tomato salsa.
The 2019 vintage in Coonawarra has been highly regarded by winemakers. It was a cool winter with average rainfalls. This encouraged the growth of healthy canopies and set the vines up well for the growing season. Summer was full of sunshine and dry weather. The famous Bonney upwelling played its part, cooling summer temperatures to produce Cabernet Sauvignon that is deep and rich in colour with great varietal definition. The Menzies Vineyard, Yalumba’s premium Cabernet Sauvignon estate, was established in the world-famous region of Coonawarra in 1975. The terroir is defined by red brown earth over limestone, perfect for growing grapes for full-bodied, structured red wine.
95 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
Deep red with a good tint of purple and a cedar-oak overlay to the bright berry fruit. It's intense and focused, penetrating and lengthy on the palate with firm, slightly sappy tannins helping drive it long. It's gently herbal and quite firm, but very appealing and would benefit from some cellar time.

With 10% malbec. Aged for 16 months in French oak (32% new). Expressive, leafy-edged fruit characters of blackberry and blackcurrant with hints of briar, licorice, dark soy, Old Jamaica chocolate, tobacco and clove. Fleshy and sweetly fruited with grippy, sandy tannins, bright acidity and a lingering trail of cassis and spice on the finish.
