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:
