Rich purple in colour. Aromas of blackberries, stewed fruits, tobacco and a hint of earthiness. Flavour is well balanced with a pleasing amount of charred wood and minerality. Absolutely excellent for the price. Not as big as a comparable Shiraz, but more elegant.

From the excellent 2012 vintage, Wynn's consistently good Black Label cabernet sauv takes it to another level. Purity of balck and blue fruit with menthol and graphite, chocolate. Balanced acidity with tannins tacky for this still young cab, so decant or let nap in the cellar a while yet. Excellent length. Great value. May 2015

Fine, elegant, precise. And so drinkable. Cabernet ripened to perfection with grace and charm.

It's only wine but I like it

Not much to add to the other reviews. This is a superb and balanced Cabernet. Bordeaux can only dream to produce a wine at this quality for under $30. Decant if drinking now, or better hold for a few more years. Tasted April 2016.

Very nice cab, as reviewed by the pros.
Did not work out of the bottle, so put it in a decanter and then the wine showed what was promised.

Drank it a tad cool with little time in the decanter. Very subdued.
