Wynns Coonawarra
Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Australia’s first ever Cabernet Sauvignon, Wynns Black Label dates back to 1954 and is revered by many. This is one of the most collected and cellared wines in Australia, and is renowned as a classic expression of each Coonawarra season.
Variety: 100% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol: 13.8%
Maturation: 18 months in new and seasoned French oak
19% new hogsheads and barriques, 20% vats, the balance in 1-3yo hogsheads and barriques
Vintage Conditions 2015 A warm spring with even flowering and set, giving good yields. A mild summer, and long ripening period delivered full fruit flavours and balanced acidity. An outstanding Coonawarra vintage.
Tasting Note
Colour: Glossy deep purple
Aroma: Multilayered and intense aromas, elegant and attractive, with the appearance of ripe dark fruits dark cherry and blackberry notes, and hints of complex spice
Palate: Impressively balanced and soft with a feeling of ripe fruit, black pepper, dry leaves and soft acidity. Polished, fine French oak stretches out the back palate and enhances the dark and brambly notes. The tannins are ‘melted’, perfectly ripe, and the finish is long, smooth, fragrant and juicy
Cellaring: The milestone 60th vintage of the black label Cabernet has 60 years of ageability to live up to and should proudly stand the test. Enjoy on release or cellar carefully for up to 20 years.
