From the historic McBain Road vineyards in northern Coonawarra comes a wine that captures the purity and balance of a classic Coonawarra blend. True to both site and style, this Cabernet Shiraz reflects the elegance and composure that define northern Coonawarra and the enduring Black Label philosophy.
Cabernet Sauvignon provides the framework, delivering fine structure, cool-climate definition and line, while Shiraz contributes plush, generous fruit that fills the mid palate without ever overwhelming it. Together, the varieties form a seamless partnership, resulting in a poised, medium-bodied wine of clarity and restraint.

Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry and red cherry, layered with subtle blueberry and plum from the Shiraz component. Classic Coonawarra notes of fresh mint, soft dried herbs and graphite sit beneath the fruit, supported by understated French oak adding hints of cedar, cocoa and gentle spice.
Medium bodied, supple and beautifully balanced. Cabernet brings fine, chalky tannins, cassis purity and a long, graceful line, while Shiraz contributes mid palate juiciness and warm spice. Flavours of blackberry, redcurrant and dark plum unfold alongside touches of cocoa, anise and subtle pepper. The acidity is bright and natural, giving freshness, precision and a clean, extended finish.

"Surprising. This is the first time Wynns have released a classic Australian blend of Cabernet and Shiraz within their famed Black Label range. In the best of its style, cabernet leads with dark fruit, mint and graphite. Shiraz brings juicy red berry and pepper—fresh, bright, and lifted on the finish. You just want to drink it now, though it will be worth a decent cellaring as well." 96 Points.
"This is the first release of this wine, which comes from the old McBain Road vineyards. It’s medium-bodied and generous. Balanced, poised, and seamlessly integrated. Drink now for sure, but holding it in the cellar for at least 10 or 12 years would be worth the wait." 96 Points.
"The structure is more cabernet than shiraz with firmness, tension, line and length. A splendid wine which has a big future." 95 Points.
