Overview

Overview

Wynns Black Label Cabernet is a true icon of Australian wine. First produced in 1954, it has a reputation for ageing gracefully and displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics.
The wine is produced from only the top quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit grown in our Terra Rossa vineyards. 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.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Classic fresh aromatics of blackberry and white sage, accentuated by subtle lavender notes.

Flavours and Palate

Fine, long, and generous, this wine opens with buoyant red cherry and plum, leading to deeper, contrasting notes of moss and earth. Enhanced by soft yet succulent acidity, fine cedary oak, and elegant, pliable tannins, it finishes with a subtle hint of thyme. A beautifully balanced, medium- weight Cabernet, showcasing all the hallmarks of this heritage label.

Ray Jordan

"This wine captures the brightness and energy that is part of the Coonawarra and Wynns hallmark. Intense blackcurrant and faintly leafy notes with a trace of black olive complexity. The oak and fruit balance is as you would expect – perfect. An elegant and charming medium-bodied Cabernet. 95 Points."

Jeni Port

"Wynns likes to promote Black Label as “Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon,” but it could also be called Australia’s greatest comfort wine. The ’23 vintage does bring a finer expression of Cabernet. Firm, fine tannins, as always, offer a seamless undercurrent, driving the wine long. 95 Points."

Steve Leszczynski

"It's hard to fault this ever-reliable Black Label. A sheer delight, drink now or hold - you choose. Either way, you're the winner. Drink to 10+ Years. 95 Points.

Vintage Conditions

Despite the challenges of a wet vintage, the diligence of vineyard and winemaking teams paid off, resulting in high-quality medium bodied wines. Spring was wet so shoot thinning and leaf removal were necessary to increase air flow to the grapes to minimise disease pressure. Summer was cool with regular rainfall. Managing the red varieties required extra attention, but the vineyards, coupled with the well-drained Terra Rossa soils, delivered exceptional results.
