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.

Unfolds a wonderfully lifted perfume, as vibrant blackcurrants, tobacco, and cocoa dust lead an aroma underpinned by black plum and fresh raspberry, with a cleanly defined scent of sage adding fragrance.
A silken flow of red and black varietal berry fruits burst onto the palate, yet it remains beautifully measured, with its elegant, medium-weighted pulse ably checked by an ultra-fine framework of powdery tannin and a refreshing acidity. Its controlled structure, brightness and persistence coalesce harmoniously, reflecting an exceptional Wynns vintage destined to age gracefully, yet still possessive of the youthful balance essential for immediate consumption.

"The colour is a deeply pigmented magenta. Elongated tannins and lingering acidity. Confident and completely unsullied. Stunning now and will only improve with age. This is a testament to scintillating fruit and the winemaker’s appreciation of it."
"There have been some truly exceptional Black Labels over the years, and this is certainly right up there with the best of them. Typically, elegant and stylishly refined with bright fruits a feature. It’s a wine with remarkable ageing potential. In fact, there are few better value cellaring wines than this icon."
"With gorgeous blackcurrant and blackberry fruit on the nose, this is an expressive vintage and one of the more structured and bolder of late. With stunning breeding, thrilling traction and spice and an immoveable sense of place, this is a genuinely great Black Label, and I am confident it will pop up in my 100 Best Australian Wines Report."
Overall, the 2022 Coonawarra vintage was a high-quality year without any obvious climate change impacts. After a cold start to the season, Budburst occurred in a cool spring. Thankfully, flowering week was ideal – warm temperatures with no wind – resulting in an even berry set. The ideal flowering conditions and above average temperatures led to even red coloring with minimal variability between bunches.
Harvest dates ranged from late April into May. This is in line with long term average dates for Wynns Coonawarra Estate. Vintage 2022 exemplifies the Wynns Coonawarra Estate medium bodied age worthy style.
