WTF is going on with Wynns Black Label Cab?

Post by Sean »

The new release of the Wynns Black Label has a name change.

Now it is labelled The Original Cabernet Sauvignon 2023. Still got a black label.

Nb. The original Wynns Cabs in the 50s actually had a white label and were labelled Cabernet, although the 55 and 56 were blends and labelled as Claret.

Since the 1965 vintage it has been a black label and labelled Cabernet Sauvignon.

I had an online chat with Sue Hodder (Wynns Chief Winemaker), and should have asked her why they changed the name.
Life is too short to drink rubbish wine.
