Luscious and rich with cassis, fleshy blackberry and blackcurrant. Absolutely classic with a long finish. Tremendous quality for the price. There's some seductive anise and dark spice on the long finish. Liquid velvet.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: meaty chili, game meats, hard cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Eric rated this wine as 92/100

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Black cheery, blackberry, cigar box, graphite, cassis, and more. Smooth, velvety, and deep, with a long black cherry finish, this is a wonderful wine on its own, for red meats, or with hard cheese. Did I mention it's great on its own?

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Cassis on the nose and palate. The flavor adds vanilla, black cherry and some red licorice. The finish is long and velvety.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

What an inviting nose! Strong dark berry fruit, vanilla, anise, cedar and hints of pepper. Very smooth and luscious on the palate. Soft tannins, balance acidity, medium-full bodied and long minty cassis dark chocolate finish. Like dark chocolate? I am convinced this wine would be amazing with dark chocolate.

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

August 17, 2014: Deep ruby, cassis, dark berry, eucalyptus, dusty minerality and spice. Nice concentration, juicy berry and spice. Good balance and structure for aging - put some away for a few years and drink over the next 10-15 with grilled steak topped with a dollop of herb infused butter.

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ripe cassis greets your nose. repeated on palate with a touch of vanilla, mint and licorice.

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Spices and black current nose. Classic Cabernet sauvignon. Well-balanced. Enough matter to be interesting.

This bold wine has longevity, not only for this vintage in your cellar, but also this particular wine has been made now for 54 years. It's matured in French oak and the grapes are selected from Wynns' top vineyards. - Community Wine Reviews
