Fine QPR #cabernetsauvignon from #coonawarra - light vanilla toast notes backed by a broad well of cassis and blackberry preserves with soft spice. Jammy trap is avoided with lovely acidity on the palate to balance the up-front fruit and fuzzy tannins to keep things interesting. Top tier Cab for $10 at Costco. — 6 years ago

Hello #coonawarra. Everything I want and expect from the region. Classic Coonawarra. Young with great aging potential. Will really enjoy watching this wine develop. No I need a good steak to go with this wine. — 11 years ago

Coonawarra Cab's Part 3: the refined ones! Combining the good up-bringing from my previous post with, much more balance & poise gave this selection much more individuality and personality. The Wynns Alex 88 was the wine of the line up at $70. The Brands Laira the value wine of the line u at $20 followed closely by the Rymill at $25 with the Katnook somewhere in between at $35. #FilthyNowVino #Wine #Coonawarra — 11 years ago

Had it last night. Big decanting and surprisingly smooth and not much sendiments left in the bottle. Deep garnet, rich in berries, plum and sugarcane-like aroma. Bold and rich in flavors, a well presentation of coonawarra shiraz from Zema. #zemaestate #coonawarra #shiraz — 11 years ago

Smooth and oakie, like tucking berries and grapes in the back corners of your mouth. Savour and enjoy. #southaustralia #coonawarra — 12 years ago

Chunky #coonawarra #cabernet with plenty of flavour; juicy and a backbone of tannins complete the deal #koonara #thetemptress 2010 AUD 25 — 10 years ago

A #Barossa shiraz blended with #Coonawarra cab. The best of both regions. Just delicious #aussiewine — 11 years ago

Top Shelf cabernet from the Wynns label; at this stage in its infancy in developing super-premium; mature aroma- mocha, bonox, wet earth; palate correct red fruits of cabernet, sweet though oak yet to integrate well; chunky tannin, needs another 30 years (cork actually sound, wine fresh) #coonawarra #wynns #southaustralia — 12 years ago

A great every day drinker. Found this wine taking the best elements of the old and new world and making it #coonawarra 100% cab. — 11 years ago

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 11 years ago

Rare to see mature Coonawarra wine released; this is 2004 current (AUD 75); deliberately blended best six hogsheads of the regions three prime grapes, cabernet, shiraz, merlot in that order; this brand does not make white; red soil-red wine status; smells and tasted mature; earth, mocca, meaty, minty, palate curranty yet bonox with age, nice powdery dry tannins; #bravo #coonawarra #redman #topred — 12 years ago
