2021 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich, wonderfully refined and polished with a beautifully integrated tannin structure.

Magnificent colour featuring an impenetrable pitch black heart along with a very deep dark red black hue. The nose is an intoxicating sniff of red to black currant, violet and red liquorice aromas that are classic Coonawarra. Vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco and bay leaf notes lend further complexity. Rich red to black currant, ripe mulberry and red liquorice fruits meld seamlessly into a vanillin cedar, tobacco, subtle earth and bay leaf infused back drop. Wonderfully refined and polished in its feel, it has medium body weight and a beautifully integrated tannin structure. Long, deeply fruited yet elegant conclusion.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 13.4%

Other Reviews…..
Such fine-grained tannin, such even-handed fruit, such a lengthy finish. This is a beautiful Black Label cabernet, elegantly medium-bodied, blessed with blackcurrant, forest berry, cool mint and cedar characters, and tempered by tobacco-like leaf notes. This will be a gorgeous drink with a few extra years on it. Drink by 2046.

Campbell Mattinson - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

One of Australia’s favourite wines and deservedly so, especially in such a fine vintage. Cracking value, whether in comparison to other top Aussie reds, other fine Coonawarra Cabs, or even in comparison with others in the Wynns range. We first saw this wine from the 1954 vintage. The latest comes from a selection of 25 of their top vineyards. Opaque maroon in colour, this is a classic Coonawarra Cab. Still youthful, it is tight, taut and with coiled power, just waiting for the release by time. Cassis, blackcurrants, chocolate, coffee beans, tobacco leaves and mint all shine with early complexity already evident. The palate is more plums and chocolate, especially cocoa powder notes, with quality oak integration. Showing very fine silky tannins, the wine is also well balanced with serious length. A hint of cinnamon from the flick of oak on the finish too. Well structured, this will sail through fifteen to twenty years in good cellars. A great Coonawarra Cabernet and surely one of the finest of this line, ever released. Drink 2023-2043.

This is the 66th vintage of this Australian classic. The first of these was made in 1954 and I am honoured to say that I have been fortunate to have tasted every one of these vintages through various verticals to celebrate milestones. The wine has never looked better from this exceptional Coonawarra vintage. It’s classic Coonawarra, medium bodied with delightful regional and varietal characters. Leafy and slightly chalky tannin overlay to the vibrant blackcurrant fruit characters. The tannins are super fine and the oak so well played. Perfumed and alive, this is a wine for extended cellaring if you wish.
