The Cigar

2012 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Menzies The Cigar is a remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon from the prestigious Coonawarra region. This 2012 vintage showcases a deep, alluring red color that hints at its rich flavor profile. The wine presents a full-bodied experience, delivering a complex balance of high acidity that brings brightness and vibrancy to each sip. Prominent fruit intensity arises from ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry notes, beautifully complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and cedar. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a structured mouthfeel that enhances the wine's overall depth. This Cabernet Sauvignon is bone dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty meals or simply to enjoy on its own.
