Yalumba The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaMinty olive sweaty leather and coffee Coonawarra aromas. Rich and round structure here with big tannins that are mostly round. Look for a smoky cherry cassis fruit flavour that finishes long and peppery with an olive brine streak at the end. Wait three to five years for this baby to reach maturity. The price has doubled over four vintages.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
