Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 750ml, Coonawarra
First produced in 1954 and widely known as 'Black Label', Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has established a reputation for displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. The wine is produced from only the top quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit available from Wynns Coonawarra Estate.A wine of style and stature - and a perennial favourite in auction circles - 'Black Label' is one of Australia's most collectable wines and Australia's benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon. It consistently delivers potential for medium to long-term cellaring, with the average age of the vineyard for Wynns 'Black Label' fruit being over 35 years.
James Halliday's Wine Companion- 96Pts - Investment in the vineyards in the winery is paying big dividends, viticulturist Alan Jenkins and winemakers Sue Hodder and Sarah Pigeon with total control. The colour and sheer power of the varietal expression achieved at this level of alcohol is totally admirable; blackcurrant, blackberry and black olive are welded together with powdery tannins and perfectly judged oak.
