Wynns Coonawarra Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

First produced in 1954 and 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 quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit available from Wynns Coonawarra Estate.

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, with the average age of the vineyard for Wynns ‘Black Label’ fruit being over 35 years.

This milestone 60th vintage of the Black Label Cabernet has 60 years of ageability to live up to and should proudly stand the test. Enjoy on release or cellar carefully for up to 20 years.

A warm spring with even flowering and set, giving good yields. A mild summer, and long ripening period delivered full fruit flavours and balanced acidity. An outstanding Coonawarra vintage.

Matured for 18 months in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak, 19% new hogsheads and barriques, 20% vats, the balance in 1-3yo hogsheads and barriques. Winery Notes
