Wynns Black Label Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

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.

A cool growing season with late season rain led to red-fruit and spice notes in the 2017 wines. Small quantities of good quality wines were made from 2017. At Wynns, we are fortunate to have a significant area of prime Terra Rossa vineyards and we could judiciously pick for quality.

12 months in French hogsheads, barriques and vats. Enjoy on release, or cellar carefully until 2037

"The fruit is effortless, the tannin is sturdy, the finish is long and satisfying. Blackcurrant, violet, mint and cedar wood characters combine to form a classic whole. The reputation of Black Label cabernet precedes it but this is an excellent version. It's medium in weight but it has torque, grip and acceleration. It takes the palate on; not to mention the future." 95 Points, Halliday Wine Companion
