Tasting Notes:

Dark cherry red with a crimson hue. The bouquet is elegant and inviting, notes of cedar and licorice combine with rich, ripe cassis, violets and the quintessential Coonawarra “sea spray” note. The palate opens with a burst of cassis and mocha. It is structural, yet generous, dark and brooding with restraint and the promise of enjoyment for years to come. The tannins are sublime, giving an insight to the ageability of this wine, yet in its youth, it is enjoyable as an elegant full- bodied red wine.


Technical:

Coonawarra experienced lower than average winter rainfall. These conditions coincided with a warmer spring and summer, as a result vintage was approximately two weeks earlier than average with lovely richness and concentration of fruit flavours. Situated in the heart of Coonawarra’s terra rossa strip, The Menzies Estate vineyard lies on a flat plain, approximately 70km from the coast. Given the terrain and influence of the cooling Bonney upwelling, Coonawarra is an ideal location to grow premium Cabernet Sauvignon. Our soil is red sandy loam over limestone, which is classic Cabernet Sauvignon country. The majority of the grapes for The Menzies 2016 are from vines planted in 1975, they are trellised tall with wide rows. Bunches are usually small with small berries, giving concentration via an ideal skin to juice ratio favouring the making of full-bodied reds.


Accolades & Awards:

95 Points Ned Goodwin, Wine Companion 

Long an icon across my memory bank, as well as it still serves me: from my early days in retail to time in New York as a sommelier and even Paris, where it appeared momentarily on the list at Willie's. A seminal moment when Australian wine got a look in. And now? Classic. In an Australian sense. Lightened up over the years in terms of the oak, but the forcefield of graphite-bitter-chocolate-bouquet grain tannins is the driver. Long. Mulch, red and blackcurrant scents and a swab of olive linger. This is very good, auguring for a long life. is the driver. Long. Mulch, red and blackcurrant scents and a swab of olive linger.
