Wynns 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon SAMay08 will sell for $30 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet shows tight varietal characters underpinned by clean and bright fruit. The abundant, silky tannins fully coat the mouth and provide solid support to the deeply-seated, pure fruit. It's a muscular-weight, supple wine that is very tight and has a well-developed level of complexity. Blackcurrant, rich chocolate, and leafy, minty characters provide all the flavour that should be found in a good Coonawarra Cabernet. It shows a little warmth on the palate but that's nothing to be concerned about. At last, after 12 years this wine is back to its former glory. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, the rating should improve as it reaches its peak drinking window between 2016 and 2026.
