Grapes were hand picked and fermented in open top stainless fermenters using the Yalumba designed cap plunger to control colour and phenolic extraction prior to maturation in fine French oak. The Yalumba The Menzies 1999 is a rich and intense Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. The colour is dense red with purple hues. The nose sees herbaceous characters intertwine with red currant, dark chocolate and spicy French oak. On the palate, dark cherry and liquorice flavours are balanced by fine-grained tannins. The complex structure of this wine allows a cellaring potential of 7-10 years.
