Wynns Coonawarra The Siding Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Technically, this is not part of the annual Collection release for Wynnsday, as it is already available, but I enjoyed it so much, I have provided notes for it. Can I say that at $20, it must qualify as one of the buys of the year. Then consider that it has been seen discounted to as low as $14. That seems criminal. A lovely vibrant purple. Beautiful and lifted aromatics. There are notes of black cherries, spices, aniseed, cloves, coffee bean, dark chocolate and more. Supple and seamless, the wine is finely balanced and with long chains of silky tannins. The finish is slightly chalky but there is excellent persistence here. A wine with a long future. I feel a bit sorry it has been excluded from the Collection for Wynnsday – it deserves better.
