V&A Lane Cabernet Shiraz 2013 Museum Release
Overview
Overview
The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards from V&A Lane have been important contributors to Wynns’ top wines for many years. However this area is also gaining a reputation for a great Shiraz and a marriage of the two varieties is a part of Wynns history, going back to its earliest blends.
Note: The tasting note reflects the wine when it was tasted in 2013 upon its release. It has since evolved and developed further complexity following years of careful bottle maturation in our cellars.
Our winemaking team have recently tasted this wine and confirmed its condition. It is drinking beautifully today showcasing intriguing aged characteristics that can only be derived with the passage of time.

James Halliday
“Good colour; a lively, medium-bodied wine with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit crossing swords, mulberry and mint seconds to the combatants. It all works well.”
Andrew Caillard MW
“Deep colour. Fresh dark chocolate, plum, mulberry aromas with herb garden, liquorice notes. Attractive drinking wine with sweet dense dark berry, dark chocolate flavours, plentiful chalky textures, lovely mid-palate richness and underlying mocha, vanilla oak. Finishes graphite dry with inky mineral notes. Harmonious and delicious to drink.”

Coonawarra, South Australia
Coonawarra, on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, is a flat, isolated region almost mid-point between Adelaide and Melbourne. The area enjoys a cool maritime climate - similar to that of Bordeaux - and is renowned for its unique terra rossa soil. Rich, rust coloured soils… crimson sunburnt faces… magenta sunsets: this is red wine country! While Coonawarra is famous for its rich, minty Cabernet, the area also produces Shiraz and Merlot and surprisingly good Chardonnay and Riesling.
