Critic Scores

95 // Ray Jordan

"I have always had an unashamed soft spot for this wine which first saw the light of day in 1954, and over the years has consistently produced some of the finest Australian Cabernet. This one captures the brightness and energy that is part of the Coonawarra and Wynns hallmark. Intense blackcurrant and faintly leafy notes with a trace of black olive complexity. The oak and fruit balance is as you would expect – perfect. An elegant and charming medium-bodied Cabernet, with fine chalky tannins and fine-grained oak supporting."

95 // Jeni Port - Wine Pilot

"Wynns likes to promote Black Label as “Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon,” but it could also be called Australia’s greatest comfort wine. Year in, year out, it arrives in the glass and the drinker’s high expectations are always met – that’s so comforting. Even in relatively challenging cool, wet years like 2023 there is no denying the Black Label stamp: a deep concentration of ripe black fruit and spices in sync with some pretty smart oak. The ’23 vintage does bring a finer expression of Cabernet, less obvious mint and eucalypt than usual and more gentle florals and light herbals. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, violet, briar, anise, dried leaf, crushed herbs – fresh and lively – work in harmony with French oak (30% new) to present a fully integrated youngster. Firm, fine tannins, as always, offer a seamless undercurrent, driving the wine long. As for drinking windows? Why not start tonight."

95 // Steve Leszczynski

"It's hard to fault this ever-reliable Black Label. Yes, there are those who say Coonawarra Cabernet is old school, but take a sip from this cup of reality and you'll soon realise how impressive it can be. All power to the Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon. First produced in 1954, this 2023 sees 15 months in new (31%) and seasoned oak. Silky, elegant and shapely, it's a wine of detail, width and breadth. Very Cabernet, it's drive, presence and persistence build an unavoidable attractiveness. A riot of interest, think blackberries, blackcurrants, barbecued peppers, sage, thyme, pink peppercorns and licorice. It moves and flows with nimble feet carressing every crevice of the mouth. A fine mintiness slides in but those dark berry fruits hold court. A sheer delight, drink now or hold - you choose. Either way, you're the winner."

Wynns

The original Wynns Estate started out as a sheep farming station, running 160,000 head on a 700 km squared property in the Coonawarra region of South Australia. John Riddoch, founder of the estate, moved to the region in 1861 and in 1897, had over 52 hectares under vine. The rest, as they say, is history, as Riddoch's descendants continued to change the face of Australian winemaking in this tiny isolated region known for its 'Terra Rossa' or 'red earth' soil, yielding intensely coloured and concentrated fruit.

Today, Wynns is the largest landowner in the region with 950 hectares under vine with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Sue Hodder leads the winemaking team at Wynns. It's not surprising that she is one of Australia's best-known winemakers; she started her career as a viticulturalist before turning her eye toward winemaking. Accompanied by Allan Jenkins - a viticulturist for the past thirty years - the pair were named Gourmet Traveller Wine's Winemaker of the Year in 2010.
