Deep red. The nose shows dark fruit aromas with chocolate and rum and raisin notes. The palate shows intense cassis flavours with creamy oak nuances. The palate is rich and supple with layers of dark plum and marzipan-like fruit. The 2005 Wynns 'Black Label' Cabernet Sauvignon shows 'darker' fruit than the previous three vintages which showed more red fruit and mint flavours. In style, 2005 is more closely aligned with the vintages of 2001, 1999 and 1990.
Wynns Coonawarra Estate was the first winery to be established in the Coonawarra, by John Riddoch in 1896. The winery is located on the world famous strip of 'Terra Rossa' soil that produces fruit of an exceptionally high quality, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Widely known as 'Black Label', Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has established a reputation for displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. The wine is produced from only the top 20-25% of Cabernet fruit available from Wynns Coonawarra Estate. The wine was first produced in 1954 and for many years has been one of Wynns' most popular releases. The 2005 release is an exemplary Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon that continues the tradition of showing the Coonawarra at its very best.
