2009 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews

96/100 — Halliday Wine Companion · 2009 Vintage · Published: 17 June 2021
“Deep colour; it spent 15 months in a mix of old and new French and American oak barriques, giving rise to a fragrant and expressive bouquet of black fruits, spice and cedar nuances. The palate really sings with dark berry fruit, oak and tannins the supporting orchestra. Right up there with the best Black Labels.”

93/100 — Huon Hooke · 2009 Vintage · Published: 13 July 2017 · Drinking Window: 2017–2036
“Deep, dark red colour with a trace of purple. Lovely ripe blackberry and blackcurrant aromas; primary fruit really shows out here. The wine is very full-bodied and firmly structured, with slightly astringent tannins. The acidity is not excessive, but the tannins are quite pointed. Still a long way to go.”

Producer Notes

Wynns is the Coonawarra's most recognised wine producer. With substantial vineyard holdings on the famous thin strip of terra rossa soil, the wines are benchmarks for the region and lauded for both their quality and flavour. Led by one of Australia's best-known winemakers, Sue Hodder has been guiding vintages at Wynns for over 23 years. In 2010, her partnership with viticulturalist Allen Jenkins, was recognised when they were awarded joint recipients of the Gourmet Traveller WINE’s Winemaker of the Year. The Siding is named after the railway siding - a local landmark that played a defining role during Coonawarra's early settlement. "the aim of this wine is to deliver a leading affordable Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing exceptional varietal and regional characteristics of red cherry, mint and dark berry flavours, while an array of gentle tannins will further reward from short to medium term cellaring" - Sue Hodder.
