Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Ian Glasgow rated this wine as 97/100

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

2013 was a great vintage. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 15 months in French oak, a third of it new. Deep inky ruby colour with deep staining tears. Quite complex! Pronounced aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, plum, blueberry, eucalyptus, mint, vanilla, toast, smoke, clove and a touch of mineral. Very fruity with pronounced flavours of cassis, red cherry, blackberry, bitter chocolate, toasty oak and graphite. Medium plus acidity and tannins with a long finish and a full body. Big, round and full. Deliciously dry and deep dark fruit. Can drink now but has the potential to age. Pair with strong cheeses and gamy meats.
94 points - November 2017

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Developing nose with heaps of fruit and spice: black currant, red & black plums, kirsch, cloves, vanilla, tobacco, eucalyptus.

Rich and round on the palate with medium+ acid and tannins well-balanced across a full body of flavour. Plum jam, cooked blackberry, chocolate, allspice, liquorice. Nice long finish.


One of the more classic Coonawarra Cabernets, Wynns also produces good value for what's in the bottle. Keep a few of these down to see how they develop.

Tasted November 2016.

Another arch-classic cabernet from Wynns, by now a new world legend into its 57th vintage. 2012 was an average year in every way climatically, which in the world of wine is just about perfect, albeit naturally quite low yielding. The wines are more "traditional" according to winemaker Sue Hodder, "very fine and bright". Many of the vines that are included in this blend are over half a century old, and the intensity and density are palpable. I love the freshness and vibrancy, the pure fresh dark fruit flavour, the fine grained tannins, the succulent acids, even the subtle leafiness. Wood influence is minimal and nicely integrated, and overall this is fine and lithe, graceful and most importantly, highly drinkable. Don't be deceived by the perceived softness and approachability - the Black Label has a long track record of ageing beautifully. This is extreme value. Tasted February 2015.
