Yalumba The Cigar Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

"The Cigar" is a name coined by Coonawarra Vignerons to describe the unique cigar-shaped strip of rich red terra rossa soil. Home to some of Australia’s most famous vineyards, the secret of Coonawarra lies in the intimate bond between the terra rossa soil, limestone layers, pure artisan water and a long cool ripening season.

The Yalumba The Cigar Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon shows an intense complex bouquet of cherries and dark chocolate. There is lavender perfume and a touch of dried sage. The palate opens with a burst of plush ripe fruit reminiscent of mulberry compote. These fruit characters build the wine in the mid palate with a complex hint of ironstone.
