The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon was named after Sir Robert Menzies, former Australian Prime Minister and well-known red wine enthusiast. In 1965, during a lunch at the Stock Exchange Club in Adelaide, Sir Robert Menzies declared the 1961 Yalumba Galway Vintage Special Reserve Claret to be “…the finest Australian red I have ever tasted.” This comment did not go unnoticed, and in 1987 when we produced our first wine from the Menzies Estate Vineyard in Coonawarra, the recognition was rewarded on the label of this outstanding wine.
A classic full-bodied expression of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, The Menzies has all the hallmarks of a great Cabernet wine: intense varietal expression of berries and sea spray, held together by taut grape and oak tannin.
YALUMBA
 
"D block of the Yalumba-owned Menzies vineyard, planted in 1975, is the exclusive source of The Caley, whose seaweed hints it shares. Deep crimson with redcurrant and cherry, as well as fresh blackcurrant, the restrained palate contrasts with The Cigar, also from this vineyard. Bitter chocolate and cedar oak (30% new) lend classical nuance. With fine grained tannins, the fruit cleaves closely to the palate, leading to a deliciously poised, cedar-scented finish."
