Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label 2012
Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaA true classic (made since 1954) and for good reason, this icon Coonawarra cabernet is so proper and familiar that it's a joy to taste every year. And Sue Hodder's changes over the years has not gone unnoticed; notably fresher, lower in alcohol and dialled in, utilizing the top quarter of cabernet fruit from the harvest. Structured but elegant, this stony and graphite, elongated cabernet shows more of the red fruits - cherry, raspberry, currant - before a pencil, leather, leafy and eucalypt finish. Tannins are branchy / grippy now in youth but will smooth and wear well over the next 10+ years. That predicted, you can certainly enjoy this classic now, especially with pork or beef tenderloin. Amazing value.Tasted: 30 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label 2012
Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaGo Sue Hodder. Black Label has been made since 1954 and is considered the classic Coonawarra red. Using only the top 20-25 percent of the cabernet fruit chief winemaker Sue Hodder has really put her stamp on this wine now sporting only 13.5 percent alcohol. Texture, texture, texture makes this almost drinkable now, as do vines that are now 35 years old. More red fruits than black give it a Bordeaux look before the savoury cool Coonawarra notes take over. Love the black cherry, earth and bramble notes and the glossy tannins. A more precocious 2010.Tasted: 03 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
