Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a distinguished expression of South Australia’s celebrated Coonawarra region, renowned worldwide for producing premium Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Crafted by Wynns Coonawarra Estate, a respected pioneer since 1951, this iconic Black Label reflects decades of expert winemaking and a deep connection to the region’s unique terroir.

The 2016 vintage captures the essence of Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa soil, a rich red earth that lends exceptional depth and complexity to the wine. The region’s cool climate enhances the vibrant dark fruit profile, delivering concentrated flavors of blackberry, cassis, and blackcurrant. These fruit layers are intricately balanced with refined tannins and bright acidity, creating a harmonious structure that promises excellent aging potential.

Acclaimed by critics, this vintage earned an impressive 95 points from James Halliday, one of Australia’s most respected wine authorities. The Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is celebrated for its powerful concentration, elegant structure, and seamless finesse. Sourced from a premium private cellar, each bottle guarantees outstanding provenance and quality.

On the palate, expect a complex interplay of dark fruits complemented by subtle hints of cedar, mint, and well-integrated fine oak. The polished finish underscores the wine’s balanced character, making it a quintessential showcase of Coonawarra’s Cabernet tradition and Wynns’ winemaking mastery.

This vintage stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Wynns Coonawarra Estate, a cornerstone of South Australia’s Cabernet heritage. Whether enjoyed now or carefully cellared, it offers a refined and memorable tasting experience that highlights the region’s exceptional terroir and the winery’s commitment to excellence.

Reviews

This is sumptuous, savoury cabernet at a ridiculous price. The tannins are pristine and tight of grain; the acidity fresh and juicy; the oak embellishing rather than smothering; the fruit, an effortless flow of currant, leaf, mint, bitter chocolate and a punctuation of bay leaf and a herbal potpourri, staining the long finish.
It’s a shapely, structured wine of fine tannin, lithe but flavoursome fruit character, exceptional length and a general ambience of sophistication. It’s perhaps not as taut as some releases have been of late, but there is a svelte feel and the wine offers depth and satisfying concentration. Tannins start tight and spread in a fan, there’s lively acidity playing underneath keeping things fresh. Each sip reveals a bit more, until critical mass, and then you get the gist that this wine has a little extra heft, spice of mocha oak and perky, tight-skinned, dark berry fruit flavours come to the fore. It’s wonderful drinking, perhaps earlier drinking too.
