Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

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.

Palate - 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.

Nose - 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.

Perfect - Pairing Miso and ginger poached salmon with soba noodles. The umami qualities of the dish accentuate the subtle savoury complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon while the salmon’s natural oils are kept trim by wine’s fine structure.
